WATKINS VERNON: (1906-1967) Welsh Poet & Painter, a close friend of Dylan Thomas. A good T.L.S., Vernon Watkins, two pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 13th November 1953, to John Lehmann. Watkins thanks his correspondent for their letters and remarks 'I feel that if I wrote now about Dylan I would not do him justice. He was such a close friend that I simply cannot. If you want to know what I think of his work read the 'Times' obituary notice. I wrote it on Sunday. But it was the most painful thing I have had to write', further adding 'I stayed with Dylan many times in London and Laugharne. He sent me nearly all the poems up to and including 'Deaths and Entrances'. It is all too close. I saw him last a week or so before he went to America. He was my favourite living poet and just about my greatest friend'. Watkins also states that he has been asked by others to write a tribute and informs Lehmann that 'On Tuesday there was a short wireless tribute on the Welsh Home Service when Daniel Jones, the composer, his oldest and closest friend, spoke and played a piece of music. I read three of his poems and one of my own, - 'Portrait of a Friend', from my first book, which was written for him in 1938'. He concludes by suggesting that Edith Sitwell would give a very good appreciation, remarking 'What I have to say I feel I cannot say yet. This is, in fact, the most difficult time in which to say it'. Together with a second T.L.S., Vernon, two pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 8th August 1955, to John Lehmann. Watkins thanks his correspondent for their letter and adds 'I am glad that my Foreword to Dylan's book interested you', further remarking 'No, I didn't know you that you were paying Dylan a weekly sum for the novel, but I very much appreciate your having done this' and continuing 'I saw a lot of him when he was doing the film work, staying with him often, and certainly I had the impression that prose would come to him more easily at that time, as it nearly always did, than poetry. He found it extremely difficult to do any writing at all in London, and certainly most of his writing, and his best, was done in Wales. I do, though, agree with you that when he made that remark to Oscar Williams he was talking of a possibility, a rather remote one. I don't think he meant to finish the novel. I spent a day with him at Laugherne a fortnight after that letter was written, and he was entirely occupied with the revisions of 'Under Milk Wood'. I think I have implied that in my foreword, but I also think that the novel was something he worked on much earlier than I have suggested, perhaps when he was still seventeen. I wanted, though, to confine my remarks to my own contact with the work through his conversation and through his reading it aloud to me'. Also including an A.L.S., Vernon, three pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 12th December 1964, to Neville Braybrooke. Wakins thanks his correspondent for their letter and remarks 'I'm glad you enjoyed Dylan's letters, which are wonderful, I think'. Watkins further adds that he cannot answer a question regarding a Stevenson story, although comments 'I bought the adaptation when it came out in a magazine this year, but my impression of it wasn't really as enthusiastic as yours. He certainly read Stevenson early, and liked him a lot, but I don't feel, as you do, that the adaptation is anything like as good as his original late prose, which in the broadcast scripts is superb. I must confess though that I haven't read the original Stevenson story, only Treasure Island and a few other things. His romantic imagination appealed to Dylan, & his wonderful power of transmitting physical sensations'. Watkins continues his letter with news of his own activities since returning from America, including translations of Dante and a presentation regarding Dylan Thomas for the Royal Institution with Professor Price, also referring to mutual colleagues including Professor O'Neill, and his experiences in Seattle where there was 'a very enthusiastic poetry audience & they were very kind….'. A small group of letters with good content, not least for their references to Dylan Thomas. Some light age wear and a few paperclip rust stains etc., generally G, 3 John Lehmann (1907-1987) English Poet and man of letters.
