| Evidence: | 'Her [Laura Riding's] talent I cannot judge, having seen too little. Much of what I have seen seems a nervous and complacent exhibitionism; her criticism shrewd but patronising, some of the poems really deep and fine... There may be a good deal of the suppressed or unsuppressed Lesbian in her'. |
