Beschreibung
Good condition blue boards with brown cloth spine and partially worn/chipped spine label (see photographs). All pages are in fine condition and the spine is very tight and square. Last pages (pages 136 and 137) are uncut. Example of the great man's poems: Soliloquy in a Mental Sanitarium I hadn't been mad for some five or six years, And I feared I was getting too sane, So I went for a night with my idiot peers And was princely and foolish again. I said what I thought of the church and the state, And I argued anddoubted and prayed, And the company all were most highly elate At the waggish remarks that I made. The Bishop (Isaid) at my infidel mots Will perspire in a doctrinal funk- The Big Advertiser I'll tweak by the nose And convict him of puerile bunk; The political tribe, who are uttering trip, I'll abash with barytone Bosh! And I cried, as I kindled my fruity old pipe, That it all will come out in the wash. But here was the odd (and most saddening) thing In my fine metaphysical spree: The solemn old fakers whose necks I would wring Were greatly delighted with me. For they thought it was all just a rollicking joke, And they smiled at the ferment of youth- But never in anything ever I spoke Did I stick quite so close to the truth! - Christopher Morley (page 79).
