Comment: This letter is dated “August 10”. One can evince the year from what Dorothy Richardson writes, on September 1934, to John Cowper Powys: “We have lately been several times visited by the Horace Gregorys, from New York. Do you by chance know these two courageous little poets? Hard up & both more or less ill, but determined to visit England […]. Not content with this much daring, they went to Ireland […] on a tramp steamer only to be horrified by the general desolation & abject poverty. The sad strange pilgrimage was brightened by […] a rather curious & wonderful meeting with W. B. Yeats. […] We liked, & admired, Gregory enormously, not only for his triumph over a truly horrible sort of paralysis - he can hardly walk – […]. You should read his book on Lawrence (if you don’t yet know it). I wait for her poems, just now due in book form, to know a little more of her. She is an American-born Russian, remote behind an air of frank communicativeness, very weary & fragile” (270-271). |
