“Sweeney Among the Nightingales.” (1919)
Howard gave an unnumbered copy (from an edition of 1200) of The Satyricon
of Petronius Arbiter [q.v.] to Tevis Clyde Smith, inscribed: “‘Apeneck
Sweeney spreads his knees / Letting his hands hang down to laugh. / The zebra
stripes along his jaw / swell to macculate giraffe.’ / Yet in spite of this
here between / these covers is proof that the world / was once even more mad
than it is / now. / Bob”
(1859-1939)
REH to H.P. Lovecraft, 5
December 1935 [SL 2
#76]: "As for the definition of the term 'sadism' I must
indeed be ineffectual in my style of expression if I left the
impression that I'm so ignorant that I don't know what the term
means. At least I've read what Havelock Ellis and other leading
psychologists have had to say about it..."
[Reference is
probably to Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume III:
Analysis of the Sexual Impulse; Love and Pain; The Sexual Impulse
in Women (Philadelphia: F.A. Davis Co., 1927].

REH to August W.
Derleth, ca. February 1933:
"P.S. and irrelevantly, I just heard the play 'John Ferguson'
given over the radio, and by God, the micks in it must be a
different brand than those that settled up Texas."
REH to H.P. Lovecraft , ca. September 1933: "I
quite agree with your estimate of the average newspaper, and do
not differ radically with your opinion of radio programs.
And yet it would be erroneous to say that all radio
programs are entirely without cultural value... I have heard,
among other things, such plays as... 'John Ferguson'... Of course
I had rather see these things on the stage, but as my chances of
doing that are so slim they are practically non-existant, I was
grateful for the opportunity of hearing them over the air."
