Robert Frost Signed Book & Handwritten Verse
Robert Frost signed book “A Further Range” with handwritten verse from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” New York: Henry Holt and Company: 1936. First edition, second impression. Original red cloth lettered in gilt with dustjacket. Signed and inscribed in ink in March, 1937 by Frost on the front free endpaper with the final verse from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Inscription reads: “The woods are lovely, dark and deep / But I have promises to keep / And miles to go before I sleep / And miles to go before I sleep. / Robert Frost / For Mary Ellen Gombes San Antonio Texas March 1937.” Frost wrote this poem about winter in June 1922 at his house in Shaftsbury, Vermont that is now home to the “Robert Frost Stone House Museum.” Frost had been up the entire night writing the long poem “New Hampshire” and had finally finished when he realized morning had come. He went out to view the sunrise and suddenly got the idea for “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” He wrote the new poem in just a few minutes and later stated that “It was as if I’d had a hallucination.” “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was Frost’s favorite of his own poems and later called it his “best bid for remembrance.” Dustjacket shows minor chipping to head and tail of spine and to folds; some toning. Near fine condition. Sold for $5,000.
