I am re-reading Mallarme who comes up magnificently.

Everyone moans about the price of vegetables we do not
get the good south of France stuff any more. Remember

to replace your jam as you eat it. There is a hieratic

stork in the Burier meadows. Floods of German propaganda
are hitting the place. 2 etrangers may go to Geneva for
longer the 48 hours. They are taking dogs wholesale for
amry work Colony are too numb with misery to be interested
either in my adventures or England, so cold, frozen pipes

Trip back, well now I know what the boat trip is like, can Hell
be much worse. we left London Monday at 9. p.m. and arrived
in Paris 4.a.m. Wednesday: I was seasick I never thought about
a mine, all I wanted to do was die.

Feb deep deep snow. A Swiss paper published a prediction
that the war would end this year and not in Germany's favor, it
was promptly suppresees. Burier used to be a big village.

There is a great industry in bootleg petrol. The V survives
cheerfully, she feels snow is nationalistic. A prim old lady
of Miss V's Zuri circle adopted a soldier and went to ask him what
he would like for Christmas, he wrote back cheerfully, a babyl
the horror and consternation were immense. Flournoy, Chester.

Burier village used to stand where the nut tree now is. Walke
to Clarens feeding gulls. Forty pounds of wriggling Boxer is
not to be ehrl. Ramuz is on Radio tonight, His. du'un soldat.

Ramuz himself read the Soldat and nobody, nobody in this world
can or has done with the French language, what he has done with
it. He read partly against the Stravinsky accom. 25th Febr.

Hearing rumors of war, colony redouble solitictions for my
welfare. Have written a sob story to share French.

March 1940.

First spring day, many snowdrops, they have stopped
the sending of food parcels outside Switzerland, 1st.

3rd met Whittall, they are itching to try out evacuation

here. Kun. came, very upset about parents. Claudi,
her new name is angel with a ganster's heart, nipped
her second ouvrier. Ramzuz complains he is utterly

isolated. The Zoo may possible be evacuated and I
might get a Zuri elephant. Wouldn't be glorious to
say to one's grandchildren, what di you do in the great
war I was a receiving station fo evacuated elephants.

Rucksacks are sold out. Blue sky, sun a blizzard wind.

8th Zuri, glooom...but gloom, they wont speak of evacuation
but you cant buy a rucksack nor a cycle. Deep snow.

last two trips so bad.

I cant tell you how funny Monte is. 27th All but the oldest
and most British dames have gone. They are serving afternoon
teas at the Knickerbocker and the general respectability would
make the boys weep. Old dames superb, they talk about our
Winston and the leaders in the Times. You hardly ever hear
a word of French, more fun to stay here, it is neutral. I commend
the Balmoral if you should ever feel like ambling coastwards, it is
kept by an old Scotch dame married to a Monasgasque and of a
respectability... one family has been here nine years, others come
regularly, we are glared at in best tradition. I amuse myself terribly.

stars...very magnificent in a black southern night. Sun, blue-green
sea, little boats, a lemon tree or two and ramping jasminé. This
is the last day of no buns. It is so complicated remembering when
the days are for different things. For three days now no meat.

A forest of flowering almonds. Douglas reading Pausanias
The coast is being terribly funny. Last night our old dames
discussed the downfall of morality th rough the absence of belief,
because if there were no hell, my dear, it really doesn't matter WHAT
you do in your life. Between showers we went to the Casino terrace
and thought the worst as trips of paper were going up over the windows
but when we were sympathetic about war, they looked at us in amazément
and murumered, the wind broke the glass yesterday.

English is now the ONLY language, the cacts, aloes, prickly pear,
mimosas and almond blossom are as ever.. The plage, bits of laurel
and see plant and the red anemone like flowers of the ice-plant, salt
and absolutely blue sea.

April An old gentleman the one who does those Victory drawings,
writes that he will be eighty in May a distinction he shares with St
Augustine and Queen Mary, quite a nice juxtaposition. Markets are
full of oranges, tangerines with leaves, artichokes and carnations.
My prize sentence of yesterday was May she ate five eclairs
before the tea commenced.

April It is much gayer in France than Vaud. All the old
dames who can crawl are here from Montreux, They are scattering
to Bournemouth and Bath for the summer, the V. writes the soldiers
have added sixty illigit to the town's population. Very difficult
in France to get coffee and soap. Schlum. very interested in our
Welsh number. Blue Medit to grey north, ow, ow,

The same old gentleman in tiny bathing drawers and sunbonnet who
amused K. so much still here. Strong scents of salt and laurel,
with Swinburne. The man arrived from Cannes, in dark corduroy
trousers, a cape, a felt artist hat of the eighties and a red shirt.
Much enquiry for K. si sympathique. He would have proposed a
shirt d'un geranium rouge exquis, avec un tout, tout petit ceinture
blanc avec des pantalons bleu aerienne, pour rendre un homage
delicat aux drapeaux allies. Imagine the effect of walking
about in flags ! One old dame said she served tea to eighty a
day all last summer and after June she may not sell cakes or
sweets. Medit. respite. Jardin strange parrot like flowers
in orange and humming bird blue. An indignant old dame because
there were no flowers. It was so cold yesterday, 11th April
that Paris had permission to heat again, it hadbeen stopped.

Michaux... is very interested in Buddhism but says that just as
he bought they were saints he had the misfortune to say "et les
anglais, and then was there an explosion? 15th back Montreux.
19th We are busy planting potatoes and sowing clover and 14th got
directions what to do in case of war. Aubrietia arabis
Grace says an Italian student says Milan pro French, south Italy
anti English. 50 evacues threatened for studio In case of troubel
they say all English will be dumped in France. We have to provide
straw if evacuees come English mail seems to have nested chez

get orders what to do if an inside upheaval starts. 23rd radio
