AUDEN, Wystan H. (Anglo-American, 1907-1973): A. L. S., undated, from his time at the Downs School in Cornwall, circa 1932-1935, to Heine Ward. Reads ''Many thanks for your letter. What I feel about your suggestion is this: - 1) Most of the matter in question comes under the other headings. 2) On cannot talk about absolutes of that kind directly because everything depends on context. One can only tell parables in poetry. If you will let me write a poem I have in mind for the book I shall be honored and delighted. But a prose article I feel both beyond me and undesirable. Yours ever, Wystan Auden''. Purchased from the Scriptorium in 1993, with accompanying paperwork, 8'' x 6 1/4''.
