Title: Autograph Letter Signed (Als)
Description: Cambridge, 28 October 1958. Letter. A thoughtful AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) on both sides of 7" x 9" King's College letterhead to Professor [Rex] Warner. In part: "My glimpse of you yesterday reminded me that I had never .. thanked you for your lecture.. I am very glad that you cared to quote me, and -- still more -- to quote Dickinson. But it is a difficult wicket. I fear that sensitivity, the arts, and all that, can only be defended on the grounds that they are good in themselves. I don't write this high-mindedly. I only wish it was otherwise. The bait we hold out (I [?] changing my form of sport) is that the life of the imagination & the belief that the world is interesting, may in the long run make society and the individuals in it more comfortable. I doubt it. Creases from mailing, otherwise Near Fine .
