Scope and Contents

"I don't recall any puzzlement of mine about James Reeves' The Natural Need. I worked wit him on this book, over a preparatory period, and gave it its title."

"I comprehend your surprise that I should be distressed to the degree manifested at finding you, as prospective writer of something in which I should be intimately involved as an active consultant, to be engaged in this public activity centered in interest in the writings of Robert Graves."

"As to Empson and Spender. Both are too aged in their perversions and weaknesses to know better;"

"Wyndham Lewes I regard not as 'broad-minded', but one who had to exist by provocation-"

"I have not existed as one of 'm' (generation having a certain kind of) attitude to Getrude Stein."
