Lawrence [1]

I have not read anything of Lawrence, but I have recently seen indications about him from many quarters; the impression given was that of a man of gifts who failed for want of vital balance – like so many others. The prose you have turned into verse – very well, as usual,– has certainly quality, though there is not enough to form a definite judgment. A seeker who missed the issue, I should imagine – misled by the vitalistic stress to which the mind of today is a very harassed captive.
