LOWELL, James Russell. AUTOGRAPH QUOTATION SIGNED (AQS). London, 27
March 1881. On a 7-3/4" x 10-3/4" sheet of paper Lowell has written out
the penultimate six-line stanza of his poem "Masaccio" and SIGNED and
dated it below.
Thoughts, that great hearts once broke for, we
Breathe cheaply in the common air;
The dust we trample heedlessly
Throbbed once in saints & heroes rare,
Who perished opening for their race
New pathways to the common-place.
Crease from being folded. Boldly written and attractive. About Fine.
Purchased from Charles Hamilton Galleries, 20 January 1977, lot 206.
