He would never talk about himself. I think people who have written about him have made too much of his poems and not enough of him as a librarian. He used to come to me and say: 'Do you think you could raise another £20,000?' and I'd pretend to complain, and tell him I gave him a librarian's salary to write poems. We got on very well" (p. 302).
