My dear Sylvia
I cannot possibly communicate my rapture this
morning when I received your letter. Today is the
8th and by chance your letter was dated the 8th,
too, so that an effect of magical speed made it-
self felt at once. The barrier of space dissolved.
And there was the great sheet, blue behind your blue
ink written with a soft flexible line, and yet domin-
ated by your rose, burning with an intensity almost
alarming. As I looked I marvelled for until the pale
elves of the page the ley of red is so strong as to defy
the idea ^ that the rose has been actually painted. You
have caught so beautifully the farry-velvety feel
of the dark rose and the sensual folds which yet sug-
gest weight the hardness of the core. I am so pleased
that roses have a larger span than I imagined ; it is
the result of learning about them via Carew. Suck-
ling, Ronsard.
Delightful too is your pale, delicate image of Belle
pink, green , yellow picking up in a different order the main tints
of our rose. I remember of course the angle of her head
and the lovely forward movement of her body which you
have captured perfectly.
Across the long undulating folds of her dress you wrtie
that R.C.s are not concerned until death because they are con-
cerned also with "eternity". But surely that is the importance
they give death, the moment of transitions: wangle catholics
it is a matter of high importance that an erring member of the family be given the benefit of a priest in his last moments
fearing that his repentence will otherwise go un-recognized
by God as well as man. Surely it is you and I who deny any
importance to death in our (what can I call it?) amiable hed-
