But I don't care, pregnancy euphoria you might say it was", and a trenchant attack on Robert Graves, "I see your Pal Graves shat on Pound when he heard him safely dead; what a shit he is. I often think of Dylan's postcard to Grigson which said 'Dear Geoffrey, I could write attacks on your verse too if I wanted, but it would be like hitting a man when he is down.' Graves waits till they are down to shit on them!", folds.
