butor will one day attempt an essay on Lawrence and homosexuality. This subject has always fascinated me because, apart from his obvious admiration for the male body and his desire for warm friendship, Lawrence almost invariably couples it with death.

For example in "The white Peacock" George disintegrates and dies; in "Women in Love"" Gerald dies; "The Prussian Officer'' ends in massacre. Biographers have given little attention to this subsidary but recurring theme in Lawrence's writings and, so far as I know, an explanation of the love-death compulsion has not been attempted.

Thank you for ONE, Incorporated. May it grow from strength to Strength.

Dear Mr. Smith:

Mr. P.

Stellenbosch, South Africa

I liked your article "Coming Out" (June, 1962) very much and I will let a select few people I know read ONE who are openminded enough to understand. I am in complete agreement with you and regret that so few, few people will read it. It is a blight indeed to millions of people who must live wasted, unfound years just because their way is not accepted by a society which suffers all the more by its own stupidity.

Mr. K.

THE I'M SPECIAL DEPARTMENT

something there is

to quote a well-known

poet a well loved poet

a rather poor poet

when all has been said

if you care for

but infintely lovable

teddy bears

but to return to the issue which i am sure

we both wish to do because it means money. for you and trouble for me and that say the psychiatrists and they know is what we want though possibly it is not said by a Mr. Bergler who is a disturbed man and must be left in peace to meditate. You whoever you are a question of philosophical validity that perhaps will be pursued later. Much later. Inside once in pristine glory lay that silent art work pregnant of a thousand inspirations, a dollar need i say it bill, nak note and what have you and we find our philosophical discussion have advanced perhaps a premise

Before you lies a dollar bill

which places you in a definite continuum of space and time and defines your immediate function . . . For this dolar bill I (not i) (for I have placed myself in this syllogism as the second premise) (thereby gaining some prominence in this ordered universe) require or rather as I am in no such position request a service. Returning however to our problem as opposed to your or my problems, uniting us for a brief moment in an infinity of brief. moments I or i as you like would like a sample or so of your magazine and here your refers to an indefinable essence rather than to you personally who has entered all too much in this dissertation.

All this in a plain if possible envelope to save the embarrassment of my dorm-mates from having their male box tinged (pun intended) with any of THAT though I don't insist for everyone would think that it was just a joke that i was pulling their legs and not that I haven't wanted to, some of them. I wait if not eagerly at least expectantly and am though not yours, certainly yours semisincerely, which I assure you is always the best way to be. Mr. T.
