Dearest Sylvia,

Thank you so much for my weekend. What a pleasure it is to see, hear, touch you and talk to you instead of thinking about you and writing. Your presence, your expressions and gestures, are so vivid and loving. I was pleased that you came to Hastings with me: my heart broke as the bus drew away and you vanished. Oh I love you Sylvia, without reservation I love you.

As we said I would I wrote a poem in the train which I have just revised. It is called AT HASTINGS:

Leaving the promenade and the flat
Horizon-hugging sea
Fraying into a surf of seagulls
We turned inland to shops
Laden with tables mirrors chairs
Staffordshire gentlemen
And cups fluted like a ram's horn
Remark, a chiffonier,
A Bewick book, a pepper pot,
A classical landscape -
Painted blue upon a plate -
Where lovers edge round lakes
Spanned by perilous slanted planks.
These tempt, these take the eye.

The poet looking at houses -
Wishing for a painter's eloquence -
Looks hastily for words
To catch the cadence of perspective,
A three-storeyed bow
Elegant as the upraised arm
Of Madame Moitessier,
The scooped shell of a white porch,
And frames his pleasure at
Each linear verandah.
Fanlights radiate like fonts
Or ferns above the wellworn doors
Of terraces that own
Allegiance to a reasoned past
And to this wilder time.
In the foreground my vivid muse
Commends topography.

Now I must away to town but I shall write again this evening. I love you, dearest,
I love you - Lawrence
