'At the moment I am in the act of discovering ?W.B. Yeats?, the Irish poet, whose prose, to my mind, is just about equal to anything going round. I have been fascinated by The Celtic Twilight, a little volume of essays about fairies & spirits. I wrote down to Frank, full of enthusiasm & advised him to get the thing, He writes back: ?I bought Celtic Twilight when it came out, & have admired it for six years now.? Today I gave Young carte blanche to get me Yeats? complete works. It dawns upon me that he is one of the men of the century, so intensely spiritual, & with a style which is the last word of simplicity & natural refinement.'
