Evidence:
I am so delighted to have 'The Seven Pillars'. I read the poem again, which I liked, and am keeping the rest for a little as all the household here are enjoying the book. I think the Arab portraits are among the finest things I have ever seen - but as for the British - do you think they were chosen purposely to look feeble-minded?
