Dargwen, Kings Road, Lancing, Sussex. - Very kind of Trevelyan to send him a copy of "From the Shiffolds" for 1948; is 'delighted by the fluency of diction & hopefulness of thought' in the poem to [Goldsworthy] Lowes Dickinson, in which Trevelyan seems to have 'broken through the iron bands that sometimes restrain' him 'under stress of strong emotion'. Knows exactly what Trevelyan means in his "To Know And Not To Feel", but can also trace the opposite tendency in himself: the 'magic [emphasised] of things has declined', but he gains increased enjoyment from his eyes, and he now 'especially rejoice[s] in stereoscopic [emphasised] vision': he may perhaps say that his 'attitude has advanced from the savage to the infantile'. Sends best wishes for the New Year.
