About This Item
Boston: Sherman, French and Co, 1916. Hardcover. [xii], 193p. hardcover with some scuffing to front cover, wear to spine ends; interior clean. Collection by the American poet who had a relationship with Aleister Crowley. A sample, from "Who am I?", p. 16:
"Who am I? True, a Seeker, that is sure,-
Drawn hither by the immemorial lure
Of earth-lust ravishing the plastic flesh;
Remembered in the bodiless grey mesh
Of memory's lotos-isle 'twixt life and death -
That dream-world poised aloft twist breath and
breath -
Well I remember that far, lovely land
Where pale Immortals clasped me by the hand;
Where I was god-like....".
