I shall come and bring my friend (Simeon) Solomon.

Yours in the Cannibal faith,

Haha--knowing what I do about dear Simeon, I'm sure he would have loved being feasted upon by the lascivious Burton. Have you read the latter's essay on "the Sotadic Zone"? He deserves beatitude for that alone.

There's a gorgeous huge book of Simeon Solomon's paintings that was remaindered a few years back--I was fortunate enough to find a copy at the Harvard Book Store.
