Correspondence from W. B. Yeats to John Quinn

[24 June 1915]

I send you with this a weekly paper with an article upon Frank Harris which will amuse you. He and Crowley and Moore [George Augustus Moore] are literary outlaws—unscrupulous in differing degrees with the one virtue of courage. Moore is the best of the three, I imagine. I would never however, have made his acquaintance if I had known that he had red hair which fills me with alarm in man or in woman, but unluckily time had blanched it when we met.
