Letter from G. Lowes Dickinson to Roger Fry ; From a temple near Peking, May 10, 1913.
I feel so at home. I think I must have been a chinaman once. I'm now in a temple in the hills west of Peking. And a sense of a most disnified contemplative life that I have ever met anywhere else. What a civilized people they have been. And how boundaries went in punishing them for it ! But I won't all that, it makes me too indignant. Peking is amazing. What I want to do is to take a room in a temple and spend a week there.
