| Quotation | About your book, I wanted to say how excellent it is [note 151: Victor Hammer, Concern for the Art of Civilized Man (Lexington KY.: Stamperia del Santuccio, 1963).]. I like its informality and its reality. There is no nonsense in it, and it is very simple and prefectly right. It is a unique book. I want to quote your lines on Dalí in my own book, if I may - my book is very silly in comparison [The work Merton is referring to is "Art and Worship," which was never published.]. |
