The children who spend all their time here saw me writing a poem
to you (recognised the shape) and arranged a poetry recital for me.
They arranged themselves on the stage at one end of the hall. One
boy (Norman) claimed to know 15 pieces but when challenged pro-
duced 2 and a bit. Two little girls recited together, one with her
arms twisted behind her head, the other rotating one leg with
embarrassment. However the desire to please was stronger than
shyness & they completed the poem. Almost all were inaudible
but Janet, one of 2 of the name, started well with
I wish I were an apple on a tree.
I'd fall upon a pretty girl like me.
The rest was lost however when she was overcome & had to
turn her back on me and press against the wall in utter confus-
ion.
One boy, John, has a crush on me. He is 11 or 12 and is, it
must be admitted, semi-deficient. He plays, not with his
contemporaries but 7 and 8 year old girls. He resents time I
spend with anyone else and I had to reproach him the other day
for fighting with a 7 year old girl (for my favours). He be-
came sullen and slouched round & round the hall (in very heavy
boots) whistling on one ear-splitting note. I expelled him but
he comes in still, chastened, but marvelling. Incidentally
the children are not in at present because Saturday afternoon
they go to the pictures: they will be in after tea, I imagine , though.
I am going to dismantle the exhibition tonight at about 6
o'clock. I can't believe that tomorrow I shall not have to answer
questions about 'detail' and 'realism' and 'beauty'. What will remain
on the walls of memory - if I live to be 23 - are the superb, the un-
forced, cliches.
The visitors here, & I've had more than a hundred in 8
days - are never at a loss for nonsense or vulgarity: they have a
commonplace at every finger tip. They have no individuality but a
marvellously effective collective identity - if 'identity' is not
too strong a word. The population is 3 or 4,000, so a hundred plus
is quite good.
