" G DID ARELLO GUIDARELLI."
[To THE EDITOR OE THE "SPECTATOR.") SIR,—Many of your readers will have been interested in the letters printed in your issue of August 10th on Guidarello
Guidarelli. I wonder if any of them remember the graceful lines written some years ago by Mr. Walter Wilson Greg :- "With peace at last and silent of all moan, Far from the busy crowd that laughs and weeps, In darkness and in stillness and alone, Here Guidarello Braccioforte sleeps. The secret tale the polished marble stone Eloquently impenetrable keeps."
Mr. Greg, now librarian at Trinity College, Cambridge, has since written a work on pastoral poetry which shows an extra- ordinary acquaintance with Italy. He might be able to add something to Mr. Aldis's interesting letter.—I am, Sir, &c., Earl &ham Grange, Pranainghany.
A. J. GRANT DUFF.
