Measures 7 1/4" x 5 3/4". 1 of 250 copies imprinted by the Tomoye Press under the direction of John Henry Nash. Excerpt from the book, page 7... The sky has an opaline sheen. Turquoise melting through gold into.

With the silver flash of a curved blade. Like a cimeter sharp and keen.

Where over the glistening Bay. You linger, so far away. The masses of purplish blur. Outline the City's height. And the flashing and vanishing lure.

Is like a mischievous eye. Everything's fickle and changing, like opals. But not you nor I? This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible". The seller is "knnjamison" and is located in this country: US.
