Help to Young Poets [2]
[X’s] poems are only attempts – good attempts for his age – so I encourage him by telling him that they are good attempts. It 
is his English poems I correct, as he has talent, but his mastery of the language is still naturally very imperfect. The other three are masters of language and [Y] is a poet of a very high order. I give my general opinion only when they want it. I never make suggestions. It is in English poetry that I give my opinions or correct or make suggestions.
