Summary
Commenting on poems written by a friend of Professor Knight; saying "Here & there the stanzas seem to me wonderfully good - but they are unequal - don't you think? I like the one on the Loch on the whole the best - but 1 or 2 verses in the longer poem are perhaps even better? Neither seem to me nearly as powerful as the 'Secret of the World' which struck me very much. I hope some day to have the pleasure of meeting you again."
