Beneath this printed colophon leaf, there is an inscription in ink: "Alice Longworth / from / Helen Cutting / Paper-maker / June 1960." The South African born poet Roy Cambell had a special affinity for the Carmelites. After moving on from France, Cambell and his wife settled in Toledo, Spain, where they were received into the Roman Catholic Church. In 1935, the Cambells had sheltered some of the local Carmelite monks during anti-clerical rioting. By June of 1936, the communist forces from Madrid arrived in Toledo. The seventeen monks from the Carmelite monastery were rounded up, marched into the street and shot. Roy Cambell discovered their bodies, and made a lasting memorial of the grisly events in his poem 'The Carmelites of Toledo.' His sympathies for Franco and the political right caused some lasting turbulence within his circles in England. John of the Cross (1542-1591) was a major figure of the Counter-Reformation, a Spanish mystic, a Roman Catholic Saint, a Carmelite friar. He is both one of the 26 Doctors of the Catholic Church, and one of the foremost poets in the Spanish language.

That text is acknowledge on the tile page of this fine press edition -- "with the kind permission of the Haverill Press Ltd., London, England." Father Martin Cyril D'Arcy SJ (1888â"1976), Catholic priest and philosopher, had a wide circle of friends and acquantances in the fields of literature and the arts. He may have helped arrange the introduction of the artist Elsa Schmid to this edition; her papers at the Archives of American Art include correspondence from Father D'Arcy. As for Alice Roosevelt Longworth, her interest in Catholicism predated the conversions to the church of her daughter Paulina, and Joanna Sturm, the granddaughter she raised after Paulina's death.
