Catel, Jean. Review of Fir flower tablets. In : Le mercure de France (1926).
Catel praised the accuracy and flavor of the English renderings of Chinese poems. However, after reading the McNair publication of the letters between Florence Ayscough and Amy Lowell, he recants : "Chinese poetry was to Amy Lowell the most delicate of dishes, her collaborating with Florence Ayscough a means of justifying her approach to it. The oriental flavor has evaporated under the touch, however, delicate, of a Western hand."
