WINTER DREAMS
The Consolation of Letters Letters of friends. These I do not keep. They are in memory which is entirely present if you touch it.
Also, letters of people I never knew, who know what it is to be alone with What: Charlotte Brontë, T.E. Lawrence, others. Also the Bible – a letter for the middle of the night. The incomprehensible left incomprehensible. ‘And also much cattle.’
