"Autumn, among her drooping marigolds, Weeps all her garnered sheaves, and empty folds, And dripping orchards — plundered and forlorn": First edition of David Gray's The Luggie and other Poems
First edition of Gray's principal poem. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine. In very good condition. Ownership inscription. Scarce.
A reverie in which the scenes and events of Gray's childhood and his early aspirations are mingled with the music of the stream which he celebrates, The Luggie was composed during the latter part of his terminal illness. Heavily influenced by Thomson, Wordsworth, and Tennyson, the series of sonnets possess a distinct individuality.
