Description:
New York: George Braziller, 1971. 'On days when I saw no students I was hurled about in my sleep by hurricanes, downpours and tornadoes. Zero produces one and one is snow, hail, wormwood, and all are nothing. And all was my fault though nothing was, because nothing is. I was determined to arrange the most congenial meetings with people. Prepared to be meek when I was overbearing. After this humiliation I invented an adage: 'He who says he is your equal is making ready to be your despot,' The next occasion I resolved to be a wag, but I encountered such a dullard that in less than an hour with him I proved to be a greater dunce than he.'. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

New York: George Braziller, 1967. Very Clean, Only a few slight signs of wear. Dahlberg's letters to Theodore Drieser, Robert M. Hutchins, Michael Sands, Steven Sands, Mrs. Michael Sands, Herbert Read, Lewis Mumford, James Laughlin, Robert McAlmon, Josephine Herbst, William Carlos Williams, Isabella Gardner, Allen Tate, Frank MacShane, Stanley Burnshaw. 'Try sometimes, when you require new aliments, the elder Pliny or Theophrastus. I think that will not only be real viaticum for your head, but will give your prose a certain wild, rustic texture which we must acquire. Most of our modern writing is very metropolitan and that is a weakness. I find great pleasure in rereading Skeat on Chaucer or in Captain John Smith's Travels, which is which is full of strong idioms, and not vulgar like our own street-gamin patois.'--December 11, 1952, to Lewis Mumford.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Being the Andrew Lang Lecture delivered before the University of St. Andrews, 14 November 1951. ''Carlyle described [Knox] as'the one Scotchman to whom, of all others, his country and the world owe a debt'l while, even within the last few years, an American historian has recorded his opinion that John Knox was 'possibly the most important man in Scottish history', certainly a man to be 'reckoned great by any estimate based upon influence'. Such was--as it still is--the tradition which Andrew Lang encountered when he came to write the second volume of his History of Scotland; and his endeavor to 'get behind' that tradition (to use his own words) led one ardent advocate of Knox to review Lang's volume under the title 'Knox in the Hands of the Philistines'.''.

Each time we look inside, the jade appears to be the same, yet the mind is forever replacing one chimera for another that resembles it. Let's suppose that the memory is a cabinet of chameleons and the mind as unstable as the moon.'' 'The novel travels from Oxford to Egypt where one million ibis mummies wait to be transformed into fertilizer, where Baconfield the architect will cause a pyramid to collapse, and where a scorned and bloated hunger artist who speaks in tongues will plot a bloody revenge.'--from the jacket. ''Our father, Angus Sperry, once described how certain butterflies risk their lives sailing the infinite airs above the seas to flock together at the resonant place (as he called it): an obscure tree, a ragged expanse of beach, a certain…
