Postmarked Highgate; sent to R. C. Trevelyan at Pension Palumbo, Ravello, presso Amalfi, Italy. - Poem, beginning 'O Lyre divine what daring spirit', suggesting that Trevelyan escaped from the landslide at Amalfi in December 1899 and continued to compose his 'magnum opus' inspired by the Muses [he was in fact never endangered by it]. Annotation in pencil suggesting that he can 'exercise [his] powers of punctuation on this Dithyramb'.
Illustration by Moore showing the nine Muses, named, bearing Trevelyan about the disaster, while a rabbit labelled as 'sole survivor and timid observer' looks on.
