“On the
occasion of our meeting she wore a green dress and, with her yellow hair,
looked like a daffodil. She was very quiet, and had great natural dignity, I
cannot imagine anyone who knew her trying to take a liberty with her and she
was extremely intelligent. She was also exceedingly sensitive. In repose her
face was at moments strangely, prophetically tragic, like the face of a
beautiful ghost. A little Spring ghost, an innocent fertility daemon, the
vegetation spirit that was Ophelia. We talked mainly, as far as I remember,
about Rudolf Steiner, whose works she had just been reading. I told her stories
about Helen Rootham’s unfortunate Steiner phase, when I had been compelled to
witness what I believe was known as a Nature Dance, something uniting one, I
expect, with Mother Earth, in which ladies of only too certain an age galloped
with large bare dusty feet over an uncarpeted floor. I am afraid that Miss
Monroe and I could not resist laughing about it.”
