2 Cheyne Gardens, S.W. - Thanks Bob for "The Bride of Dionysus": has read it with 'the greatest delight' and thinks it easily the strongest thing he has published, except perhaps "Sisyphus" which was very different. Also likes the short poems and the [translations] of Lucretius and "Attys" [Catullus 63]. The "Bride" is the 'only good libretto' he has ever read. Thinks Bob's conception of Dionysus is 'right, certainly legitimate and successful'; Will A[rnold] F[orster] says that Bob and Vernon Lee 'had a royal row over it'; as far as he can tell Bob is perfectly entitled to portray the god as 'more dignified and fundamental than Titian's Bacchus'. Very much hopes that the opera can be performed.
