I know what poets of twenty must in all probability be--Dall' Ongaro _is_ a poet, and has a remarkable command of language.
I have tried my hand at turning into literal Italian prose (only marking the lines) a lyric on Rome sent lately to America; and I may show it to you one of these days.
Now I must send off this.

In tender love.
Your BA.
