THOMAS, Dylan. A one page a.l.s., addressed 39 Markham Sq., S.W.3., to John Arlott, saying he encloses "two returned Horizons, and my two poems copied out from them." He is frank about having made a wrong choice of two poems for the Welsh programme. "I don't know what I could have been thinking about ... I must have forgotten they were both so very long. Surely they'll take a disproportionate amount of our time? And surely, again, they're very much alike in feeling and would give a monotonous effect? -- even if a reader read one of them and I the other. But it's up to you. I suggest that only the Poem on October is selected ...." In a short second paragraph, he adds: "Even though we talked for a second, on the phone, about excluding any V. Watkins, do bring along his book Ballad of the Mari Llwyd if you can get hold of it -- just for us to look at. See you about 2.15 next Wed."; and another, 2pp. a.l.s., dated Holywell Ford, Oxford, 22 July 1946, to Arlott.
