“When I Am Dead”
To the Editor Sir, —I was astonished on reading the truly beautiful requiem printed in yesterday’s number of the ‘‘Manawatu Daily Times” and recited by Mr. J. W. Davidson on the occasion of the arrival at the local railway station of the body of the late lamented Mr. H. E. Holland, the Labour Party’s outstanding versatile and able ex-leader. I am writing to ask if any one can inform mo as to where a volume of Mr. Holland’s poems can be procured, if such a thing exists. T .have read nothing finer in New Zealand poetry than those two truly poetical and powerful verses referred to above, if there is anything else from the late Mr. Holland’s inspired pen knocking about tho country unprinted and unknown, I would suggest that such be garnered without delay and put into book form for the benefit of the Tending public, that no tinio may be lost in giving honour where honour is due. I am, etc., TI. E. GUNTER. Palmerston North, October 10th.
