FROST, Robert. SELECTED POEMS with AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT POEM. New York: 
Henry Holt and Company, 1923 (1926). Cloth-backed boards. INSCRIBED For 
Sue Grundy Bonner and SIGNED by the poet on the front free endpaper 
beneath the complete sonnet, "Once by the Pacific," entirely in the 
author's hand and here titled "Fiat Nox," the chapter heading under 
which this poem is the first printed from the book WEST-RUNNING BROOK. 
This poem, one of the few Frost wrote about the state of his birth, 
California, was begun by Frost in college but not finished until 46 
years later. The first four of the fourteen lines set the stage: "The 
shattered water made a misty din Great waves looked over others coming 
in And thought of doing something to the shore That water never did to 
land before." Very mild sunning to the spine with light fraying to the 
spine tips. Neat tissue repair to the front hinge. Housed in a handsome 
gilt-lettered brown morocco-backed marbled paper clamshell box. Still 
Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper but in a Fine box. (#015065) $5,000.00
