n.d..  HOLOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT Poem of 25 lines titled "After Sunset"  on
two  sides  of  a 5-3/8" x 11-3/4" sheet of plain paper. The  poem  is
identical  to the version published in Swinburne's collection TRISTRAM
OF  LYONESSE  AND OTHER POEMS, but for one word which is  crossed  out
with  the published version above it and the omission here of the last
three  lines  of  the poem. Some edgewear to the paper  with  a  small
piece,  containing  part  of the title, detached  but  present.  Paper
somewhat fragile but still Very Good.                         $1500.00
