Add to basket2pp., foolscap 8vo. In fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. A fair copy of a twenty-eight line poem, arranged in seven four-line stanzas. Signed at end 'P. L. | December 1960.' The first stanza reads 'Rain-threaded gull-wheeling bell-clamorous air, | by wind shifted, by smoke lightly weighted, | in which sirens beauti…fully despair, | no monumnet crumbles uncelebrated,'. The poem ends with a simile of 'Adam when he woke: | stood for a moment as if he had been blind, | and bent suddenly over Eve, and spoke.' There is no indication that the poem has been published. A regular of the Colony Room, Henrietta Moraes was noted for her bohemian and hedonistic lifestyle in the Soho of the 1950s and 1960s. She met Dom Moraes in 1956, and the couple married in 1961, divorcing a few years later.
