| Evidence: | Leonard Woolf to T. S. Eliot, 5 May 1930:
'You are the only living poet I can read twice; only in your case I cannot stop at twice & go on rereading until something from outside intervenes to stop me. The usual thing happened to me the other evening with Ash Wednesday. It is amazingly beautiful. I dislike the doctrine, as you probably know, but the poetry remains & shows how unimportant belief or unbelief may be.'
