Dearest Sylvia,
I want to send you hastily these poems so that they arrive before you leave.

Painting and Poetry
Are sisters, Dryden said:
In pictures you shall see
The image you have read.

Then poetry may dare
To be your counterpart:
O may my poems share
The beauty of your art.

ii
Blackberry leaves, exquisite
As signals to the butterfly:
And roses in cut-glass
Give to blood a petalled form.

These flowers that you paint
Curve with the line of life,
Creative, warm, - like roses
Answering Orpheus.

iii
The figure of a lady standing
Beside an easel, palette in her hand,
With neo-classic draperies stirred
By an inventive wind, her brushes
Held as lightly as a fan at dances:
She is the muse of painting, or she was.

But I have seen a painter, sitting
Before her easel, sometimes spilling
The turpentine or working days upon
Imperfect forms until they please,
Wearing a sweater and a skirt.
And she too has a garland in her hair.

The first stanza of the third poem describes a Muse from a late 18th century engraving.

I long to see you on Wednesday, dearest. Tickets, times, accommodation at Bilston, visit to the Barber Institute, are now fixed. My thoughts are with you all the while.
I love you
Lawrence
