I’m already enraptured.
Admittedly, I have been procrastinating on Beaton; his life, friends, habits, talents, commentaries
are so expansive and prodigious as to leave one hopelessly lost in choices.

As I write this I am simultaneously reading The Unexpurgated
Beaton (Diaries, 1970-1980), Self Portrait with Friends (Diaries, 1922-
1974) and Beaton in the Sixties (Diaries, 1965 – 1969). My natural proclivity
towards absorption is hardly a worthy trait for blogging. Nevertheless, the “Malice in Wonderland”
as Jean Cocteau described Beaton will be covered in due time.

By the way, have you seen this lovely post about Beaton? http://ageofuncertainty.blogspot.com/ I had no idea he had a scrapbook, and I’m desperate to take a closer look.
