John Squire : The Three Hills

'I was glad to see your hand, as it forced me to write to you. About 5 or 6 weeks ago I had the impulse to write to you about the high satisfaction I had from your last book, but with the base indifference that sometimes paralyses the most ardent souls, I simply did not write. Your poetry gives me real pleasure.'

John Collings Squire : Twelve Poems

'In a little book of poems by J S Squire called Twelve Poems there is one poem called March which I think quite beautiful. Do you know Mr Squire? ... He writes to me often and I to him but I have never seen him ... I have read Coriolanus and Timon of Athens by you know who. I think the author must have suffered in his life on account of the ingratitude of friends as nearly all of his plays are about ingratitude.'
