                                                          $ 650.00

The seemingly unrecorded, stirring and lengthy (133 line) verse
tribute to Augustus and Learned Hand, the latter of whom MacLeish
sought to portray God in "J.B.", his most famous play; not in
MacLeish's collected poetry nor any other source consulted.
