To a cultured mind no scenery is
Ordinary.
And
Such a mind will prefer solitude in
An unassuming landscape.
DP lived on the bogue Fayala ( sp)
A porous and certain primeval
Relaxin and releasing
Also
He wasn’t scared to meet the
Crowd and suck crayfishes either
But
He wasn’t dipping into orientalists 
He made fun of them with aunt
Emily’s Bagvagita. Too bad
Tom Merton and he never
Dialogued. 
Doubt is too 
catching.
Thank you,
Lauren

I am no scholar, heaven knows, but in my laziness I have developed a million labor-saving workarounds.  Although it is only a partial and not a definitive answer to your question, I can report that Hermann Hesse does not appear in the indices of the following books I have on my Percy shelf:

—Jay Tolson’s and Father Samway’s biographies of Percy
—John F. Desmond’s Walker Percy’s Search for Community
—Robert Coles’ Walker Percy, An American Search
—Jessica Hooten Wilson’s Reading Walker Percy’s Novels and Walker Percy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and the Search for Influence 
—Lewis A. Lawson’s Following Percy
—Kieran Quinlan’s Walker Percy, The Last Catholic Novelist
—Lawson and Kramer, editors, Conversations With Walker Percy

Further affiant sayeth naught.

When I was a teenager in the 1970s, I was a serious reader of Hermann Hesse, the great German author. I learned about Hesse from an encouraging essay by Kurt Vonnegut, also a favorite of mine at the time. Did Percy read Hesse?
