Manuscript poetry in pencil. (ORIGINAL; WRITTEN IN C. S. LEWIS'S OWN HAND)
[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 seenThe unripe breasts of that young QueenSo panting, and her face aboveSo 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 meadowDarkened before her with her shadow,Because the moon grew strong. She turned;Brittle and bright the crescent burned,The thin and honey-coloured bowOf the pure Huntress riding low. . Very Good.
