“I ... try to remember the smell of the bus that used to meet one at the station in 1908. The rumble of its rubberless tyres.

I find that these things are a great deal more vivid to me than many things which have occurred since, but will they convey anything whatever to anyone else? Still I peg on, and hope one day to see it all under the imprint of the Hogarth Press, in stacks in the bookshops.”
