You see: I have copied out your sonnet, *
because I found that it is lovely and simple born in the shape that it moves in
with such quiet decorum. It is the best poem of yours that you have let me
read. And now I am giving you this copy because I know that it is important and
full of new experience to rediscover a work of one's own in someone else's
handwriting. Read the poem as if you had never seen it before, and you will
feel in your innermost being how very much it is your own.
