![]() I'm more nervous of these encounters than she is. Jack dined here last night & we said how many years is it since we three were alone in a room together? he & Nessa & I, waiting for dinner, & a little nervous. It is a great stand by-this power to make large sums by formulating views on Stendhal & Swift. (a book too highly praised now) is a request to write for the Atlantic Monthly. I am going to write about Stella & Swift for Richmond, as a sign of grace, after sweeping guineas off the Vogue counter. So when I wake early now I luxuriate most in a whole day alone a day of easy natural poses, a little printing, slipping tranquilly off into the deep water of my own thoughts navigating the underworld & then replenishing my cistern at night with Swift. Once I had a gift for doing this, & a passion, & it made parties arduous & exciting. ![]() No longer can I summon up that energy which when it sees one of these dry little sponges floating past, or rather stuck on the rock, sweeps round them, steeps them, infuses them, nerves them, & so finally fills them & creates them. I let them break on me like dirty rain drops. ![]() ![]() Saturday 27 June A bitter cold day, succeeding a chilly windy night, in which were lit all the Chinese lanterns of Roger's garden party. ![]()
