1915 Clark Ashton Smith Poem

CLARK ASHTON SMITH ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT, Sonnet - 1915
//
The seller (epegana) states: This Clark Ashton Smith manuscript is from Samuel Loveman's collection dates from 1915. The sonnet was originally entitled "Duality" when published in Smith's early poetry book - "Sandalwood". This is an earlier version and differs greatly from the final version. As you can see in the scan, two lines are completely rewritten in the author's hand; holographic corrections are especially desirable in collecting manuscripts. CAS has also noted "For Samuel Loveman". The "Clark Ashton Smith" backhand signature is rare as he did not keep it for long. Smith was twenty-two at the time. // Nice example of a CAS manuscript.
