'[Alida Klementaski] and Harold Monro first met at a poets' club dinner at the Cafe Monico on 14 March 1913. The subject was the nineties poet John Davidson [...] Alida, in a borrowed Liberty dress, was the reader, and Harold Monro realized, when he heard her, that there were women, as well as men, for whom poetry was life.'
