Sobre este artículo

Newtown: The Gregynog Press, 1928. No. 284 of 310 copies. Portrait frontispiece wood by R.A. Maynard after Augustus John. Printed in Baskervile type on Japanese vellum in with yellow title vignette and borders on every page. 8vo., original black buckram and marbled paper covered boards, largely unopened. With some mild rubbing to cloth, otherwise very good.||Simply but beautifully printed edition of the work of the Welsh poet W.H. Davies, known as the ‘tramp poet’. Rather engagingly, Davies writes a foreword which declares that most of the poems were written from his own life experience: “’The Sleepers’ was written after a night out on the London Embankment, when I was penniless...It will be seen from reading some of these poems that I have known the discomforts of a homeless life...however, even my experience of hunger has not left me bitter: for I believe my mind became stronger and better fed because of an occasional spell of fasting...Gluttony has starved more brains than Hunger...”|Harrop: History of The Gregynog Press, 11 “What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare”
