From Durrell's Reflections of a Marine Venus

[Richard Romeo]

>From the Chapter entitled 'Orientations in Sunlight'

'Sirocco again--a huge white-capped sea racing away for Anatolia, to dash 
itself in pieces on the headlands, buried in smoke.  'All poetry,' says V, 
'partakes of the epitaph. Even the Epithalamium participates in the death of 
joy.'

Unless I missed it, Durrell doesn't identify who 'V' is.
