Description: LEAVES OF GRASS by Walt Whitman 1931 By Aventine Press, New York. Vintage Hardcover. This book has been inscribed inside the front cover in very unique handwriting. It reads: “So live, that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by our unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” III. C. B. On the next page it says: To Grace: my Enigma and my Friend - Seasons Greetings! There is a male silhouette glued into the corner and the year 1939 in the other corner (see pictures). The book has dried leaves that were pressed inside. The book is in very good condition for its age. Some discoloration (see pictures) and spine is faded. Dimensions: 7” x 10” x 2.25”, weight 3 lbs 3 oz.
