"Forgive a dry letter, but I am as arid as a bit of tinder." "Lower Sydenham, "May 2,0, 1885.
"... What a beautiful experience your morning watch must have been ! I love those times and have had many of them. I have often watched the dawn, till I realised so strongly the motion of the earth — heaving round towards the sun, and gradually discovering his light and warmth— that I felt myself, as it were, the only human being standing on the shoulder of the great round world, as it whirled round —
...and almost seemed to feel my hair being blown back by the breeze caused by the motion. And the gradual awakening that you describe is so wonderful. Once experience a thing of that kind and one never forgets it." After this letter one is not surprised to hear of his getting hold of Clough's poems " in the dead hours of the IX HOLIDAY IN SWITZERLAND 305 night," and re-reading many of them with the greatest delight. As he says in another letter written a few weeks later, " I have always had the greatest admira- tion for (no, sympathy with) them : the feeling is too much a part of myself to be admiration." Another book which he read this summer with much interest was Amiel's Journal, transcribing in one of his pocket- books the description of an autumn morning, and the admirable appreciation of Mozart's music, in which the writer speaks of its exquisite and aristrocratic beauty, its healthiness and serenity, and the fact that it showed as much talent as genius.
