Scope and content
9 Moorfield Road, West Didsbury, Manchester. - Everyone who knew Goldie [Lowes Dickinson] and has seen the "New Statesman" this week will be grateful to Trevelyan for 'expressing what so many of his friends must have felt of late, and especially during these last dreadful weeks' [in his poem"To G. Lowes Dickinson", which appeared in the 22 Oct number, see 2/177]. Dickinson's 'wise words', which he can see in his books as he writes, and hear in memory, have 'set us standards by which to try and make sense of the world we live in'. This was 'often hard enough even in the Cambridge days'; now when 'all the decencies seem to be crumbling round us and everything we believe to be worthwhile is meeting with denial', Dickinson is needed more than ever. Thanks Trevelyan for his poem's 'affirmation of belief in what he stood for and helped us to cling to'.
