Dearest Sylvia
Thank you for your stimulating and loving letter. It makes me very happy. How kind of you to send me Horizon so soon - and Masson: thank you, dearest love.
I was interested in C's reasons for disliking Auden. I quite see that he preaches, and so does Eliot, so does Greene. But do Montherlant and Maurier really only state? Surely both these writers fix things to justify their own attitudes? Surely they only decide on the destiny of their characters, and so on, to express an attitude. I think the test is not objectivity versus preaching but whether form and content suit each other: not whether the content is legitimate outside the form but if it suits the form. By this test Auden at his best seems to me good. The content of Limestone is ridiculous: its relation to form exquisite. (That is my present view though I acknowledge the pressures which cause one to take sides.)
Delighted that Armida progresses so well. Admirable: I am pleased. (I read the Nicholson article in the Burlington Magazine at breakfast (because you said you had read it): I agree it is disjointed - but what a nice frontispiece, don't you think?) I long to see R and A again. It is a tradition which starts in the South, comes North (to the frontispiece, e.g.), then is southernised again in the Roccoco.
My film book goes very well. I have written a 1000 words, at least, on Dreamboat which I saw yesterday. In fact I probably should not have gone to the cinema yesterday - nor worked on my lectures at the Tate Gallery as long as I did, for my glands have swollen again. However, Dreamboat is excellent: you should certainly see it. Kiss Me Kate was very enjoyable, also - quite well handled by a Touring Co. with Chris. Hewett (of the Watergate Review) in the lead.
What marvellous news about yet another American letter of praise for the Rector. I know ow much C admires Ellis, too. Do congratulate him for me. I am sorry Haine is little better: how extraordinary about New Zealand. I am disgusted with that ridiculous place.
Lion is gradually collecting material for the Sex Lecture (I seem I am in a What's On advertisement for the Sex Ed. Soc!), not all of which I may use, but I would like a margin. Something we left out was a case history or two of particular artists: I shall try and work on in (Hogarth, Nijinsky, Leonardo - I don't know who yet), {how about The Psychopathology of Dame Laura Knight?]
Lincoln Girls' School mistake me for Superman. They want 3 lectures in the morning: in the afternoon I introduce 5 art films; in the evening another lecture. However no duties on Saturday to speak of & I shall get lb15.
The Nov. Athene progresses well: even the "May" one advances.
Do not worry about me. My glands will go down again over the weekend - certainly by the time you read this on Monday. I shall do my work in a semi-horizontal postiion: LION as recumbent-reader. I shall not give up any more lectures as long as I still have a chin!
I adore you sweetheart
I adore you
