Desmond Harmsworth Press.
Desmond Harmsworth Cecil was a British painter, publisher, and poet. Born Cecil Desmond Bernard Harmsworth on August 19, 1903, the son of the first Baron Harmsworth of Egham, he was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained an M.A. in English language and literature.

Harmsworth became known in the 1930s as a publisher of Roy Campbell, Wyndham Lewis, James Joyce, Norman Douglas, Ezra Pound, and Mulk Raj Anand. He contributed prose and verse to literary magazines in Europe and America, including most notably a verse translation of Paul Valéry's "le Cimetière marin," begun in the early 1930s but not published until 1969. In an exchange of letters with T. S. Eliot he wrote that "at the heart of verse translation, as at the heart of portraiture, it seems to me there is a mystery; what is the original really like?"
