Beschreibung

Octavo. 133 pages. One of A.E.'s relatively scarce books and among his most important mystical writings. DNB notes in this work "he examined the provenance of his poetry in terms of those visons that had invaded his consciousness nearly a half century before." "In what follows I have tried to track the song back to its secret fountains. As I have thought it unnatural to see together in galleries, pictures unrelated to each other or taken from the altars for which they were painted, so I have thought it unnatural for lyric to follow lyric in a volume without hint of the bodily or spiritual circumstance out of which they were born,"--A.E. (preface). A near fine copy bound in original green cloth lettered in gilt, just a few small sports of rubbing. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 031000
