But he learned from his grandparents the grand patriarchal images which never left him, and from poor relations and kitchen servants the supernatural and prehistoric lore which was both to illumine and befuddle his poetry; and he learned from his magnificent father the lesson which an artist must learn: "Self-interest and self-preservation are the death...
