Dearest Sylvia

I am glad to hear that your painting is going so well and I long to see it, as well
as often wonder I have not yet seen. I am sorry to hear M cannot obtain the can-
vases earif for your future paintings: if necessary, I shall be glad to get them
for you. However as no telegram has some I suppose it has worked out alright.

What a relief that Doris has of east, as the trevel say, dis-appeared. Loved Melt
wear his block nails, do you think, and Yawolla his block mask ratla than any of
his colored ones?

Here is Sylvia Balting, finished at east: the 5 stanzas are one for each sense, ending
up with touch. The idea for it came from a neo-platonic poem I Clapwan in which
he imagines omid spying on the Emperor's daughter (or won's neice?) in her bats and
this intoxicating each sense in turn-ending with spiritual love, but only after the
area kind has been satisfied.

I went to Kensington yesterday but uselerrly for apparently the allecting days
one next Tuesday & Wednesday: it was the last day and there were 9 or 10 people
there, taking considerable interest in the pictures. so I loved not take your pieces
away. However, as I was in town I went to a lecture at the N.P.G. on Victor-
ian prime minister: the subject for yesterday was lord Robert cecil, or Salis-
bury as he was later brown as. IC was an interesting-ish lecture, alternat-
ively dry and amusing. He was absent-minded: one day he failed to recog-

I am glad to hear that your painting is going so well and I long to see it, as well as other works I have not yet seen. I am sorry to hear you cannot obtain the canvases easily for your future paintings: if necessary, I shall be glad to get them for you. However as no telegram has come I suppose it has worked out alright. What a relief that has at last, as the friends say, disappeared. Should Hetz wear his black nails, do you think, and Tawolla his black mask rather than any of his coloured ones?
Here is Sylvia Bathing, finished at last: the 5 strangers are one for each sense, ending up with touch. The idea for it came from a neo-platonic poem of Chapman in which he imagines Ovid spying on the Emperor's daughter (or was it niece?) in his baths and thus intoxicating each sense in turn - ending with spiritual love, but only after the other kind has been satisfied.
I went to Kensington yesterday but uselessly for apparently the collecting days are next Tuesday and Wednesday: it was the last day and there were 9 or 10 people there, taking considerable interest in all pictures. So I could not take your pieces away. However, as I was in town I went to a lecture at the N.P.G. on Victorian prime ministers: the subject for yesterday was Lord Robert Cecil, or Salisbury as he was later known as. It was an interesting lecture, alternatively dry and amusing. He was absent-minded: one day he failed a recog-

wear her black veils, do you think, and Tavolla his black mask rather than any of
