Patterns in Jade of Wu Ming Fu

Descripción

First Edition. The philosophical poetry and verse of Wu Ming Fu. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper. Follow-up book to the author's well-received, much-admired 1931 publication 'The Wisdom of Wu Ming Fu'. From Cobb's Introduction: "The fact that "The Wisdom of Wu Ming Fu" has been intimately treasured by so many-bringing as it does a bit of ancient serenity to men and women worn by the stress and strain of modernity-has encouraged me to make further use of Wu's literary remains. I found among his posthumous papers a considerable amount of material that had not yet been perfected in accordance with his methods of chiseled and terse beauty; odd nuggets of wisdom jotted down hastily for recordance' sake-some on backs of envelopes, some on concert programs, some even on hotel notepaper-but not formed into final shape." Green cloth binding with dark green lettering on cover and spine. Bumping/minor damage to top of spine binding, elsewise a very good, bright, clean, tight, collector-worthy copy! FRB6.
