Excerpt from Harbours of Memory

For it is entirely right and proper that I should dedicate to you this collection of fugitive pieces written from time to time as editors and inspiration called, and to which I have given the fanciful name of Harbours of Memory incorporating in one phrase two of the most beautiful words in the English tongue. It is entirely right and proper because to you I owe my real initiation into the ranks of what one witty American journalist has called the I. W. W. - the Industrious Writers of the World. To you I owe the encouragement so necessary to the timid soul about to put out upon the wide seas of American literature. To you I owe a most gener ous and (in my own private Opinion) extremely biassed enthusiasm for my work. To you I owe my present amiable connections with American publishers. As Sir James Barrie once said of Frederick Greenwood, He invented me, so I might point accusingly at you (let us say at Andre s in a full session of the three-hours-for - Lunch Club) and exclaim, This man resuscitated me For it is only the truth to say that when, in Port Said of blessed memory, I first received a letter from you, I was in a state of suspended animation.
