Tim, I had a brief exchange with Hope's sons a few years ago seeking permission to quote lines from his poems in an essay. They were both very reasonable and requested no payment at all, unlike the estate of Auden, which requested an absurd amount, so that the publisher had to ask me to cut the quotations from his work. As I say, it was a brief exchange but very civil.
