Let's try a change of pace.
In a letter to Harriet Monroe (17 May 1915, Paige #70), EP writes:
"H--- is a drivelling ass, but kindly and amiable. S--- is worse, for
he not only pours out amateurish blither, but he is a rich man who does
NOTHING--god damn nothing--for the arts....Blithering sow. To see him
sitting in this room on my perfectly good furniture trying to get up
nerve enough to spend 5 pounds on a bit of sculpture, it's enough to
make a cat spew."
Does anyone know the identities of the blithering sow S---, or the
amiable ass H---?
