First edition, one of 180 numbered copies on laid Arches paper, only major paper after 120 laid Johannot. Nice copy. Autographed and signed Christmas autograph of La Houssaye: "To Andre Frank poet, scholar, essayist and dilettante, his admirer and his friend the Pindaride." ending with this quatrain: "To draw the most subtle ether / to sublimate it to the fifth gasoline / to make its flame a little more volatile / What is the flame where this fire was born."
