[Rarebooks] FS: Robert Frost NEW HAMPSHIRE with SIGNED MANUSCRIPT Stanza

[Charles Agvent]

FROST, Robert. NEW HAMPSHIRE. A POEM WITH NOTES AND GRACE NOTES with 
AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT STANZA. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1923 
(1924). First Edition. Third Printing of the First Trade Edition of one 
of Frost's most notable books and winner of his first Pulitzer Prize 
containing such poems as "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and 
"Fire and Ice." Illustrated with woodcuts by J. J. Lankes. This copy is 
INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the poet on the recto of the frontispiece for 
Harold Dickson along with a MANUSCRIPT stanza from "A Star in a 
Stone-Boat" in the poet's hand: "Some may [know] what they seek in 
school and church/And why they seek it there. For what I search/I must 
go measuring stone walls perch on perch." The poem is the first poem in 
the book after the title poem. Frost has left out the word "know," 
likely by accident, and changed the punctuation a bit, as was his wont, 
most noticeably here changing the original semi-colon after "there" to a 
period and beginning a new sentence after. Dickson is likely the British 
colonial administrator in the Middle East from the 1920s until the 
1940s, author of several books on the region. Very light wear to the 
spine tips and corners. At the bottom blank margin of the poem "Nothing 
Gold Can Stay," the previous owner has penned a poem by Emily Dickinson. 
Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper. (#015044)        $4,000
