BINYON
([Robert] Laurence, 1869-1943, Poet and Playwright, Oriental Curator at the British Museum)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Leggatt'
saying that he really hasn't "had time to be inspired on Top-hats. Wait till those scrannel lines of Mrs Dyer and the Ruins of Rome have put me into the proper funereal mood for such a black subject. Meanwhile I send you this as a sop - some profane verses on your idol Tennyson ...", inside are 10 verses of 4 lines each titled "Peerless Poet v. Poet-Peer", the first verse reads "I see thee cloak'd about thy chair, / The fragrant cloud upon thy lip, / The old Virginian fellowship, / Cooperant case, dissolving care ..." and the final verse "That mock'd thy wisdom. Rise & fly ? The fawning rout, the apish horde, / Move upward, working out the 'Lord' / And let the tuft and title die.", 3 sides 8vo., 3 Matheson Road, West Kensington, no date
