C.S. Lewis Handwritten Poetry in Pencil
[LEWIS, C. S.] Manuscript poetry in pencil.Here is what Don King, the preeminent scholar on Lewis' poetry, says about this hand written poem:The first passage has affinities with lines 5-8 of Canto V of The Queen of Drum: Happy the man who might have seen The unripe breasts of that young Queen So panting, and her face above So flushed and eye-bright for his love, The second passage has affinities with lines 131-136 of Canto V of The Queen of Drum: Now as she ran she saw the meadow Darkened before her with her shadow,Because the moon grew strong. She turned;Brittle and bright the crescent burned,The thin and honey-coloured bow Of the pure Huntress riding low. Very good. $7,000
