Evidence:
'A colleague at the Council, later to achieve distinction as a poet, sent me a copy of his first slim volume of verse with a note: "This is to get you into trouble with the secret police!" A characteristic irony, for the poems were far from subversive; the reference, I think, was rather to what he [italics] could [end italics] have written but had suppressed'.
