Sut,—What a breath of fresh Jibwas_ your _review of An
Italian Visit! Although considerably Professor H. W. Garrod's junior, I too have lived all my life in a different kind of poetry. But I would submit that, for all that, it continues to be poetry (or has it, somehow, gone out of date ? I am thinking of the time, years ago, when I was editor of the poetry in this journal).
However, aside from that,I have a slender bone to pick with your reviewer. He says: " This will do. It is what people want." Well, but is it ? But perhaps after all my own way of thinking is not so very different from -your reviewer's. Be certainly lets the cat out of the bag with an engaging-vengeance in his rendering of one of the author's "poems," as prose.—Yours faithfully,
5 Halford Road, Leytonstone, E.I0.
