[July 1927]
Dear Gwen
I am anxiously awaiting your scenario – otherwise the music will push on by itself which may cause trouble later on.
I’ve got the Wicksteed book1 – but I’m not going to worry about the left foot & the right foot.
Yours sincerely
R. Vaughan Williams
1. Joseph Wicksteed, Blake’s Vision of the Book of Job (1910). He expounded a view of Blake’s symbolism.
