...Thank you, zmkc -- I hadn't thought of that.<br /> <br />There is a passage in Farjeon's Edward Thomas: The Last Four Years which your thought brings to mind. In one of his last letters to her, Thomas wrote: 'What is coming is to be worse than anything I know so far. It is worse for you and for Helen [his wife] and Mother, I know.'<br /><br />In her book, Farjeon writes: 'In those two words "For you", Edward laid by his reserve for the only time in our friendship, and allowed me to know that he knew how much I loved him.' (Page 259.)<br /><br />As always, thanks for stopping by.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-1070373402179433682011-04-13T19:54:14.069-07:002011-04-13T19:54:14.069-07:00Having just read your earlier post containing Aude...Having just read your earlier post containing Auden's poem about Edward Thomas, I can't help thinking of Eleanor Farjeon reading this one.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.com
