[Rarebooks] FS: Fine, Insightful E. M. Forster AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED

[Charles Agvent]

FORSTER, E. M. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Cambridge, 28 October 
1958. A thoughtful AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) on both sides of 7" x 
9" King's College letterhead to Professor [Rex] Warner. In part: "My 
glimpse of you yesterday reminded me that I had never ... thanked you 
for your lecture.... I am very glad that you cared to quote me, and -- 
still more -- to quote Dickinson. But it is a difficult wicket. I fear 
that sensitivity, the arts, and all that, can only be defended on the 
grounds that they are good in themselves. I don't write this 
high-mindedly. I only wish it was otherwise. The bait we hold out (I [?] 
changing my form of sport) is that the life of the imagination & the 
belief that the world is interesting, may in the long run make society 
and the individuals in it more comfortable. I doubt it." Creases from 
mailing, otherwise Near Fine. (#019401)        $1,000.00
