The Swan in the Evening. Fragments Of An Inner Life.

Bookseller Notes

Inscribed by the author on the initial blank to her friend and non-professional medium, Lady Cynthia Sandys: 'For Cynthia - from whom, and through whom I learned most of what I know about the Great Question! With ever grateful love from Rosamond, September 1967 (See p. 126!); the author's footnote at that point directs the reader to Lady Sandys as one 'whose clairaudiently received writings (still unpublished) are at once the most 'human' and the profoundest, spiritually speaking, of any known to me'. Sandys' 'Awakening Letters' were subsequently published with Lehmann's assistance.The epigraphs to the respective parts of this memoir of inner life are drawn from Eliot's 'Four Quartets'.
