STEVENS, Wallace. AUTOGRAPH QUOTATION SIGNED (AQS) on
The Power of the Imagination. A very scarce quote completely
in Stevens's hand and SIGNED by the poet on a 5-1/4" x
3-1/4" blank white index card: "The imagination is the power
of the mind over the possibilities of things. Nec. Angel,
136. Wallace Stevens October 14, 1954." Stevens was loathe
to honor requests for quotes like this so they rarely appear
on the market. This particular one is a superb summation of
Stevens's art. With a fine matted photographic reproduction
of the poet in a suit standing against a wall, image size
4-1/2" x 6-1/2". Would frame wonderfully together. Fine and
very scarce. $3000.00
