John Middleton Murry : Wrap me up in my Aubusson Carpet

'When Middleton Murry attacked George Moore in an editorial of the "Adelphi" in April 1924, he [Arnold Bennett] wrote a very strong letter of protest, and rightly: Murry's piece, "Wrap me up in my Aubusson Carpet", had been a characteristically emotional and unbalanced attack . . .'

John Middleton Murry : Review of Siegfried Sassoon, Counter-attack, and Other Poems

29 July: 'I'm paralysed by the task of describing a week end at Garsington. I suppose we spoke some million words between us [...] There was Gertler; Shearman & Dallas for tea; Brett, Ottoline, 3 children & Philip. The string which united everything together was Philip's attack on Murry in The Nation for his review of Sassoon [...] to prove his case Philip read Murry's article, his letter, & his letter to Murry, three times over, so I thought, emphasising his points, & lifting his finger to make us attend. And there was Sassoon's letter of gratitude too. I think Ott. was a little bored.'
