Scope and content
Yattendon nr. Newbury. - Thanks Trevelyan for sending his new book ["Polyphemus, and Other Poems"]. Finds the same 'peculiar and individual charm' in "The Lady's Bat" as he did in the "Song of the Barley", from "Mallow and Asphodel". Found "Polyphemus" interesting, and there and in "Daphne" he sees how high Trevelyan aims. There are some things in the irregular verse which he does not understand the principle of, but it would be more pleasant to talk about these.
