Lawrence'), to [Henry] Savage, celebrating life and child-birth; also mentioning a book by Casanova ('he'll suit me') and encouraging Savage to be serious about writing poetry, 28 Percy Avenue, Kingsgate, Broadstairs, 'Friday', [18? July 1913] Quote: '...One's soul needs a stomach of bronze, to digest this damned life. But it's all right really...I think if I had a child coming...I should be happy...all the world starts again, right clean & jolly, when a child is born...the mother's blood ought to run in the womb like sunshine. Because we must all die, whereas we mightn't have been born. And when a child comes, something is which might never have been. And if it was my Child I should be glad, whoever died, being old, or being in a cul de sac...'
