Description:
MP3 Audio CD. Poems of West and East FOR *** NO eyes shall see the poems that I write For you; not even yours; but after long Forgetful years have passed on our delight Some hand may chance upon a dusty song Of those fond days when every spoken word Was sweet, and all the fleeting things unspoken Yet sweeter, and the music half unheard Murmured through forests as a charm unbroken. It is the plain and ordinary page Of two who loved, sole-spirited and clear. Will you, O stranger of another age, Not grant a human and compassionate tear To us, who each the other held so dear? A single tear fraternal, sadly shed, Since that which was so living, is so dead.

- first
London: John Lane, The Bodley Head,, 1917. First edition, first impression, of the author's first regularly published book. Sackville-West's collection of twenty-two poems, thirteen of which appear here for the first time, was written while living in Istanbul with her newly married husband Harold Nicolson, who was working as a diplomat there. Their house at Cihangir offered Vita her first garden (planting the seed of a passion which would later bloom in her famous garden at Sissinghurst), and their life there initiated the insatiable wanderlust that would characterise the poet's subsequent adventures. Octavo. Original grey cloth-backed blue paper boards, printed paper title label to spine and front cover, edges untrimmed. Frontispiece view of Constantinople. A couple of bumps to extremities, board edges slightly faded, a few trivial marks to covers, contents clean. A very good copy. Cross & Ravenscroft-Hulme A3.
