Raymond Buildings is an old high-end apartment in London。It is said that Dickens once worked as a footman here。But what interests me is that Edward Marsh lived at No. 5 here，1872—1953），bet365 tennis bet was once a leading figure in modern British poetry。It is precisely because bet365 tennis bet edited the five-volume "Collected Poems of George"，The so-called Georgian School of Poetry only existed in the British literary world，This is the earliest modernist poetry group in Britain。In fact, these poets have their own pursuits，There is no unified poetic style and program，Just because of gathering under his command，That’s why there is such a faction。Marsh himself is an official figure、Social celebrities，Excellent in London's political and literary circles，Move the wind and rain，Very impressive。Marsh is a tasteful connoisseur of poetry and painting，Privately sponsored countless poets and painters。bet365 tennis bet admired Lawrence very much in his early days，This is why Lawrence became the "George Poet"。Marsh often helped Lawrence when bet365 tennis bet was in trouble，Especially when Lawrence wants to write "On Hardy"，bet365 tennis bet kindly provided a complete set of Hardy's works for Lawrence to read，Thus enabling Lawrence to complete this epoch-making literary theory，Laid his own unique critic foundation。To thank Marsh，Lawrence once thought of dedicating "To Marsh" on the first page of the book，But because of World War I，This book was not published in time，Published after Lawrence's death，So Lawrence’s sincerity was in vain，What a pity。In that era, complete sets of Hardy's works were very expensive，Lawrence can’t afford it。However, as a writer in this "poetic school", Lawrence can write reviews，Still dedicated to Marsh，Written a review on George’s poetry，That comment is also very poetic，Excellent literary talent，Quite inspiring for this school of poetry’s first collection。"We are awake again，Our hearts are filled with fresh breath，Our eyes are full of morning scenery。The first singing is close to crying，The fear and pain of memory make pure music shrill。So this book is released。”Visible，The repression that the poets in the "Georgian Poems" suffered during the reign of Queen Victoria began to be unprecedentedly released in the era of King George，They are looking forward to and cheering for a new era。The pioneer of British modernist poetry started spontaneously。And such a ten-year poetry innovation was actually led by Marsh, who was not a professional poet or even a poetry enthusiast，bet365 tennis bet is a complete patron of poetry，No banner or program，But it opened up a new trend of poetry。

There are several such patrons of literature and art and patron-centered literary circles in London，So sometimes we hear about this school and that school in literature and art，In fact, they are often a group of friends who are closely connected in life，similar interests，There may not be any unified proposition。For example, Bloomsbury literary circle，Basically a small group of lovers who are lovers of each other，Among them is the economist Keynes，Not related to literature and art，Just because bet365 tennis bet is the lover of a certain painter。But the "gang" of these people did promote British modernist literature and art，This is self-evident。But it is rare to see a “group leader” like Marsh who invests real money in publishing and art acquisitions。Five volumes of "George's Poems"，One episode every two years，Completed entirely by Marsh’s own efforts and investment，Really rare。This has a lot to do with Marsh’s character and financial resources。bet365 tennis bet is a descendant of an aristocratic family (his maternal grandfather was the British Prime Minister)，Graduated from Trinity College，Always working in government agencies，Probably a senior civil servant。bet365 tennis bet later served as Churchill’s personal secretary for many years，The income should be quite high。At the same time, bet365 tennis bet received large inheritances from his family several times，Good living conditions，Decided to use the money to sponsor the art of painting，Also sponsor the poet，It seems that painting and poetry are his two biggest hobbies outside of government work。His early work in the Australian Government's Colonial Office，Later was favored by Churchill and selected as his personal secretary，Churchill’s position changed several times，But they didn’t change their personal secretary，It can be seen that bet365 tennis bet is very competent。Someone jokingly called it，Marsh is a well-dressed gentleman with outstanding appearance，Perfect for wearing a silver key chain around your waist，Opening and locking filing cabinet doors in a heavily carpeted office，In other words, bet365 tennis bet is meticulous、Rigorous and meticulous、A very suitable secretary candidate。His mission is of course to accompany Churchill，Whether in the office，Still visiting abroad，They are all inseparable。Such a job is said to be very busy and stressful。Even because of official duties，As a good friend of Lawrence, bet365 tennis bet did not have time to attend the former’s wedding，Giving Lawrence a complete set of Hardy's works as a back-up wedding gift just when bet365 tennis bet needed it。

Marsh has sponsored so many poets and artists，Some of them even became Long Yang’s close friends with him，Such as child prodigy poet Brooke and painter Gottler, etc.，Packed together with people and paintings，Kill two birds with one stone。But bet365 tennis bet and Gottler broke up because they had different political opinions and did not agree with each other，It shows that they still have principles of life。But bet365 tennis bet and Lawrence seem to be just friends，No intersection in this regard，It should be said to be selfless。But I believe this mainly depends on Lawrence's independence，They have maintained a pure friendship。

In his later years, Marsh served as a director of the Tate Museum and a director of the Old Vic Theater Company in London，Also serves on the British Council of Contemporary Arts and the Royal Society of Literature，After his death, bet365 tennis bet was awarded the honorary title of "the last private patron of literature and art" in Britain。His life，bet365 tennis bet is a painter who does his duty well、A life in which poetry and love are best combined。
