Scope and content
8, Grosvenor Crescent. - Enjoyed reading Robert's poems ["The Bride of Dionysus"] yesterday evening, which he praises; is sure the "Dionysus" itself is 'admirably suited for its purpose' [as a libretto for Donald Tovey's opera], and the end is very effective. Interested to hear Robert and Elizabeth had been to see the Pre-Raphaelite pictures at the Tate; he and Caroline are just reading in the biography of Ruskin how these 'those exquisite pieces' were treated in a 'brutal manner', and how well he came to the rescue.
