(FROST, Robert). "The Quest of the Orchis" in THE INDEPENDENT. June 27, 
1901. Frost's Third National Publication. New York, 27 June 1901. First 
Edition. Contains Frost's third national appearance in print, here as R. 
L. Frost, after the poem "My Butterfly: An Elegy" which appeared in the 
same magazine in 1894 and "The Birds Do This," also in this publication 
in 1896. The importance of this magazine to Frost predated his writing 
for it. According to Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, Frost's first encounter 
with the publication was of immense importance to him: "I happened into 
the old library, and found on the magazine rack a copy of the 
INDEPENDENT, with a poem on the front page.... This experience gave me 
my very first revelation that a publication existed, anywhere in my 
native land, that was a vehicle for the publication of poetry." Small 
stain to the front cover; minor wear and small chips. Very Good and 
quite scarce. (#015098)        $900.00
