| Quotation | Thank you also for I Remember. You have presented it very attractively, and I am delighted to find in it the notes on translating Shakespeare which are a very important addition. I have not been able to read them yet, I am saving them for a moment in which I can give them thought. With Pasternak one does not just read things in a rush. He puts himself so generously into everything, even and especially his letters"”to strangers. I have not heard any more from him, but the quotes from his letters to Miriam Rogers etc. are most illuminating. I also received some news about him indirectly from a person to whom he writes in England [John Harris]"”but this was before February 11th. |
