Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'I was glad to see your hand, as it forced me to write to you. About 5 or 6 weeks ago I had the impulse to write to you about the high satisfaction I had from your last book, but with the base indifference that sometimes paralyses the most ardent souls, I simply did not write. Your poetry gives me real pleasure.'
