Dearest, my dearest Sylvia,
What a beautiful and happy metaphor have you placed at the
close of your last letter and, perfect though it is, the long poem
which seems to take its origin from your phrases, claims to
be written; I mean your likening of your pictures to "callowed
fruits nourished by my sun. You are yourself a poet for what a significant and lovely image it is - a
crystallisation of one aspect of our love. The only example of
your art
, the only fruit of your libido and your with me is
you tiny self-portrait, shamed in its ruby setting , but this
I often look at, like an early Shakespeare lover surrounded
by sonnets, Renaissance imagery, and elegant landscape.
Alas, the landscape is not conspicuously pastoral, in an agree-
able sense, but all too naturalistic. My journey here was through
a winter world delicately and unevenly patterned with snow: the
fall had not been heavy and nowhere was the snow thick. Green
fans opening under every tree or bush. From Redcar to Middle-
sborough one traverses an incredible industrial landscape in
which depression and disgust are both washed, in one observes,
an instinctive sense of wonder at this tangle of little rail-
way lines, fabulous architecture, and great plateaus of rubble
on twisted masses of dead stuff suggesting a landscape
on the moon. The moon was visible all morning - and it was an
appropriate symbol of the climate, too. From Middlesbrough
to Durham the views, as I say, were wintery but non-industrial.
It took, altogether, in two buses, two and a quarter hours, but,
at last, over the bus-driver's shoulders I saw the central tower.

Dearest, my dearest Sylvia,
What a beautiful and happy metaphor have you placed at the close of your last letter and, perfect though it is, the long poem which seems to take its origin from your phrases, claims to be written; I mean your likening of your pictures to 'col-oured fruits' nourished by my sun. You are yourself a poet for what a significant and lovely image it is - a crystalisation of one aspect of our love. The only example of your art, the only fruit of your libido and your skill with me, is your tiny self-portrait, framed in its ruby setting, but this I often look at, like an early Shakespeare lover surrounded by sonnets, Renaissance imagery, and elegant landscape.
