Our last sonnet, The Statues In The Garden, was suggested by a postcard of a mannerist fountain in Florence. This gave me the first quatrain and the rest came when I appealed to you, my Muse. Imagine then the result of visiting a picture gallery with Minerva herself. That is what this new one is about. It refers to three version of Minerva - by Ewarth, Schiavone, and Dely, in that order.

Defeated by Elizabeth
In the legendary contest
Minerva turned a compliment
And won for wit and elegance.

Or with her senses centred
Upon Apollo's music
Her girlish hands let go the shield
That guarded her so long from love.

Or with a rakish helmet see
A proud and muscled beauty -
Deuchess of Cleveland as Athene.

But best of all i visited
The Palace with a new Minerva -
Critic and epitome.

On Sunday the post is at four o'clock so I must stop as it is a quarter to.

I love you,

On re-reading my letter before sending it I see I said above in effect 'I want more'. Do not be worried by the for what I meant to convey is that I do not want to evade any consequence of loving you, that if this new ??? is a bad one you need not fear for my part. I love you as I did.
