Description

Self-published as a chapbook in 1911, the poem recounts Bailey’s intellectual evolution. Of nine known copies in public collections, this is the only known one that bears corrections in Bailey’s hand. The most critical revision is the word “science” changed to “prescience” in the line “For some far time will prescience open wide the vista vast” (line 99).
