Correspondence from William Butler Yeats to John Butler Yeats

 

 

 

Stone Cottage

 

Jan. 18, 1915

 

 

My dear Father, I am down here in Sussex, as you see. Ezra Pound and his wife are staying with me, we have four rooms of a cottage on the edge of a heath and our back is to the woods. I was amused by your description of Crowley [see J.B. Yeats letter of 18 December 1914]. Crowley is not a man I appreciate. I am amused to find that he now praises Mrs. Macgregor [Moina Mathers], he slandered her in a very cruel way in one of his books but I suppose Bergson's sister is now worth considering. I am sorry Quinn [John Quinn] has taken up with Crowley.
