New Directions, Norfolk, Ct. [c1954]. Hard Cover. 32 p.; 18.75 cm. "Lettering by Samuel H. Marsh." "One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six. All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged, fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hands in the snow and bring out whatever I can find. In goes my hand into that wool-white bell-tongued ball of holidays resting at the rim of the carol-singing sea, and out come Mrs. Prothero and the firemen." Tan dust jacket clipped, a bit worn, spine darkened, small closed tear at top edge; Very Good+. Stock#OB801.
