THE SONG OF HONOUR

THE SONG OF HONOUR

(Westminster: A.T. Stevens for Flying Fame, 1913).

LARGE PAPER ISSUE OF THIS WONDER LOVAT FRASER ITEM. The thunder of battles both earthly and heavenly resound in this rhythmic testament to heroism and the wonder of things greater than oneself:

 I stood and stared; the sky was lit,
The sky was stars all over it,
I stood, I knew not why,
Without a wish, without a will,
I stood upon that silent hill
And stared into the sky until
My eyes were blind with stars and still
I stared into the sky.

The lovely and subtle decorations by Lovat Fraser make for a particularly nice presentation. Item #16094

First edition, large paper issue. Decorated with hand-coloured engravings by Claud Lovat Fraser. 8vo, original decorated grey sugar-paper wrappers. 23. Very fresh, bright, and well preserved, with just slight chipping to the hinge.
