About This Item
London : Faber & Faber, (1946). First edition. An early collection of twenty-eight poems, many foreshadowing the Alexandria Quartet. Includes "Eight Aspects of Melissa", "Levant", "Alexandria", "Delos", "Conon in Alexandria", etc. Demy 8vo (23cm). 72pp. Original yellow cloth, lettered in gilt; fore-edge a little marked with a curious pink stain in two places, but otherwise a very good, bright and sound copy in the original pale blue dust-jacket, lettered in black and red - lightly worn at tips; a little marked and sunned, with a small chip to rear panel, but complete and by no means unattractive.
