FROST,  Robert.  AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT POEM FRAGMENT  SIGNED.  On a
5-1/4" x 8-1/2" piece of paper, apparently neatly excised from a book,
is  a  fair copy AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT excerpt of eleven lines  forming
the  conclusion  of the poem, "The Sound of the Trees"  from  MOUNTAIN
INTERVAL,  completely  in  Frost's  hand  and SIGNED  by  him  at  the
conclusion  with the postscript "For Stanley Kimmel." In full: "My feet
tug  at  the floor And my head sways to the shoulder Sometimes  when I
watch  trees  sway From the window or the door. I shall set forth  for
somewhere,  I shall make the reckless choice Some day when they are in
voice  And  tossing  so as to scare The white clouds over  them  on. I
shall  have less to say But I shall be gone." One word is changed  from
the  printed version along with two minor changes in punctuation. Fine
                                                               $4500.00
