Any of the works of Andre Gide are good, same of older ones like Rimbaud, Laforgue (Jules) and Guillaume Apollinaire. The latter’s _Calligrammes_ and _Alcools_ (poems) are just being talked about in this country. I am mad about Laforgue, but he is hard to translate and very acid. There is a wild bird and fashionable, Jean Cocteau, who writes plays, poetry and novelties that I understand is the present king of les boulevards, but I haven’t read him. The scene in France today is, I judge, about as scattered as the Genoa Conference. Everybody is being intensely clever, and everybody is also worried about what new standard tomorrow may erect. However, I have tried to name people here who have already been more-or-less settled and accepted, or who bid fair to be. The people I am closest to in English are Yeats, Eliot, Pound, and the dear great Elizabethans like Marlowe, Webster, Donne and Drayton, whom I never weary of. I’ve lately been enjoying Melville’s _Moby Dick_, however. --/--/ I’ll write to you as soon as I hear from Anderson. If you come across any good monograph on Cezanne in Germany I would be glad to pay you for it as soon as you get back. Otherwise--with the exception of a good book illustrating Greek Vases well, I can’t think of anything. 96: TO GORHAM MUNSON [_Cleveland_] _May 16th ’22_ Hooray Whoop La! That little note on the back of the envelope meant a lot to me. And I somehow feel good that you are once more with me on the same stretch of land! Jump right on the train, old dear, and I’ll meet you at the station. I’m very anxious to see you. I want you to meet this _great_ Bill Sommer--and tell me all about all you have done and seen. I have the assurance now that you’ll come as soon as you can get the money, and it makes me quite happy. Your rough & tedious transition back to the States gave you a good chance to prepare for the surprises of New York--there must have been some new aspects of the place awaiting you. I know that even a few months in the West Indies and Canada open your eyes to new things on your return. Of course there will be only too evident all the old aggravations,--but from occasional references in your letters I judge that you have more than once been touched by these same things during the last six months. The world is fast becoming standardized,--and who knows but what our American scene will be the most intricate and absorbing one in fifty years or so?
