Excerpt from View of My Own: Essays in Literature and Society Many people believe letters the most personal and revealing form of communication. In them we expect to find the charmer at his nap, slumped, Open-mouthed, profoundly himself without thought for appearances. Yet, this is not quite true. Letters are above all useful as a means of ex pressing the ideal self; and no other method of communi cation is quite so good for this purpose. In conversation, those uneasy eyes upon you, those lips ready with an emen dation before you have begun to speak, are a powerful de terrent to unreality, even to h0pe. In art it is not often possible to make direct use of your dreams of tomorrow and your excuses for yesterday.
