I am much interested and honoured by what you tell me of C. S. Lewis.Ruth Pitter
Vain vision when the changing world each day Sees some such lordly pleasance pass away When the mere stripling knows my symbols all Worn tokes, heaven hypothetical, Nature indifferent, and the dreams of men Figments of longing which we must condemn.
