Cyril Vane (2.6): Cecil Gray (1895–1951), a Scottish composer and music critic who was among H.D.’s circle of friends during World War I. In the spring of 1918 H.D. joined Gray at his house at Bosigran Castle in Cornwall and by August learned she was pregnant with his child. They grew distant after this point, and later attempts on the part of H.D.’s friends to persuade him to contribute to the child’s support were unavailing.
