Scope and Contents
Tom Phillips rediscovered these preliminary pages after they had been misplaced for 25 years and gifted them to the Sackner Archive. Mounted on mat such that only page 46 is visible. Page 36 reads "to my seeming paradox. I have done with love--true; but - love does, like an unresonable woman in a railway-carriage, - itself : nor does it ask that others should be crushed together, - to push them out the windows. Such as affection I cannot only understand, but I long to give and receive it. - Pencil the book - ink them in - The verses in question were as follows - doubts chill it much; a touch can can kill it, at a touch." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
