Description:
[1877]. Manuscript. Several small ink stains not affecting the text, a few short tears, the second page split along the fold about halfway. Good. Two 7-3/4" x 11-1/2" ruled sheets written on rectos only of an original poem by Miller consisting of 5 nine-line stanzas, completely in Miller's hand and SIGNED by him at the conclusion. First published in the January 1877 issue of THE GALAXY, the poem begins: "O Titan soul, ascend your starry steep/On golden stair to gods and storied men!/Ascend! nor care where thy traducers creep,/For what may well be said of prophets when/A world that's wicked comes to call them good./Ascend and sing! As kings of thought who stood/On stormy heights and held far lights to men,/Stand thou and shout above the tumbled roar/Lest brave ships drive and break against the shore./What though thy sounding song be roughly set?/Parnassus' Self is rough...." One word is added and one entire line is crossed out. This poem was found among the papers of journalist William Conant Church… Read More
