細節
YEATS, William Butler (1865-1939). Two autograph letters signed and one letter signed to Arthur Waley, 18 Woburn Buildings, London, 82 Merrion Square, Dublin, and Colemans Hatch, Sussex, 14 April n.y., 21 November 1917 and n.d., 2¼ pages, 8vo and 4to, in autograph, and one page, 8vo, in a secretarial hand, unrelated annotations by Waley to versos.
Compliments on his work and a contretemps resolved: a letter from London dated 14 April reflects Yeats's pleasure in reading Waley's translations -- 'the poems are delightful things -- strangely simple & touching', inviting Waley for a Monday evening (when Yeats held open house) and asking for the dates of Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. An undated letter from Dublin reacts to a misunderstanding: 'The rudeness was to me only not to Lady Ottoline, but I am satisfied now that you have written ... I was glad to get your letter as I shall henceforth be able to read your work with the old pleasure'. The dictated letter from Sussex attempts to track down some letters which Yeats has mislaid. (3)
