There is a new documentary film about to be released on DVD concerning his
(Ralph Vaughan Williams) life and the director, Tony Palmer, offered it to BBC

that they were not really interested but he should let them know "if Mr. V.
Williams comes out with any new works." Palmer said that this is a letter that
should be framed!

Wasn't it Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said "There is nothing more

"Stop the world I'll get off here. (sigh)
