Scope and content
Watts Gallery, Compton, Guildford. - Has now read Trevelyan's poems, and likes them very much; regrets that he has 'no classical scholarship', but gets 'something of those "dark grandeurs"' from Trevelyan's verses. They sometimes remind him of 'translations from Chinese': he likes their 'simple austerity'. The only writing he does is in prose: 'very poorly', he expects.
