Beschreibung

Marbled wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 95 numbered copies; a spacious printing in 18pt Baskerville, on Barcham Green "Langley" paper. Story (though it is less a story, perhaps, than a meditation) first printed in The Nation, October 1912. "On the evening after he met the Spirit of the Fear of Death he remembered a man once saying: 'Undoubtedly air and earth are full of spirits. Every place has its own, though we are not always aware of it, and far from always take heed of it. Yes; every place, every valley and street, every tree and gateway and crossing of roads. And not only every place, but every hour. They are good and evil; they are simple and complex. Some are new and some very ancient. Some are true, some are false, powerful, and usurping spirits . . .'" The Tragara Press's first title by Edward Thomas was A Third-Class Carriage (40 copies, 1967), issued on the 50th anniversary of his death. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 32M100505
