Description
A Few Figs From Thistles 1923 Edna St Vincent Millay HC Early Harper Poetry. A classic early Harper & Brothers hardcover edition of A Few Figs From Thistles: Poems and Sonnets by Edna St. Vincent Millay, dated MCMXXIII (1923) on the title page. This black cloth volume with gilt lettering features Millay’s influential modernist poetry, including the famous “My candle burns at both ends” poem, with clean, legible text and naturally toned pages from age. Condition is Good overall: boards show rubbing and edge wear, corners lightly bumped, and pages exhibit expected toning and a few scattered spots. The front free endpaper has a neat 1924 gift inscription reading “Mary, 1924” in ink, but it is not signed by the author. A small label from The Old Corner Book Store, Inc., Boston, Mass., appears on the front pastedown, adding a nice touch of provenance. Binding is sound, no loose or missing pages observed, and there is no dust jacket. A solid vintage copy of one of Millay’s key poetry collections, ideal for readers and collectors of early 20th‑century literature.
