To a cultured mind no scenery is
Ordinary.
And
Such a mind will prefer solitude in
An unassuming landscape.
DP lived on the bogue Fayala ( sp)
A porous and certain primeval
Relaxin and releasing
Also
He wasn’t scared to meet the
Crowd and suck crayfishes either
But
He wasn’t dipping into orientalists
He made fun of them with aunt
Emily’s Bagvagita. Too bad
Tom Merton and he never
Dialogued.
Doubt is too
catching.
Thank you,
Lauren
