WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS (1883-1963) American poet who used idiomatic speech patterns and details of commonplace experiences in his works, author of the epic Paterson. Fine content A.Ms.S. 1p. 8vo., [n.p.], Aug. 15, 1951, a tribute to the great American photographer, Alfred Eisenstadt, in part: "...How strange that from staring through a glass of peculiar shape at dictators and kings, generals and statesmen, those who have sought one way or another to rule the world, you have come away so whole a man, so willing still to search, your sense limpid as the sense that stood between you and those creatures of the world, for what further you may find. It is as if the miracle of glass, built to record without the faintest hint of a flaw those frightful images of Terror on the sensitive and impersonal film, had endowed you with its grace of infinite purity, anastigmatic, clear as the sound of a silver bell against all your work so accurately limned, fit and even eager to record a poet's fleeting shadow... ". The slightest of toning to margins, otherwise boldly penned and very good. $400-600
