To Cyril Coniston Clemens
Via Santo Stefano Rotondo, 6
Rome. June 15, 1951
I am supposed to be resting after a trying winter. Visitors (not old friends) are forbidden; and please don’t ask me if I have read or known people I never heard of, or send any one with a letter of introduction to me here.
Fidelium animae requiescant in pace, even in this world.
From The Letters of George Santayana: Book Eight, 1948-1952. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2008.
