AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT OF HIS POEM 'THE LONDON MUSEUM', signed ('Siegfried Sassoon'), 24 lines in five irregular stanzas, the printer's copy (marked with instructions in the upper left-hand corner), 1 page, small quarto, not dated [1922] ANTIQUARIANS, filling their noses With the aromatic dust of some episode in History; How I pity them their aversion from the flowing vistas of the Future! For they organize an epoch as if it were a hall of obsolete utensils; And the blunt bronze sword must be labelled according to its postulated Period... The present manuscript differs in three respects from the published version: in the first stanza it has 'labelled' for 'catalogued'; in the fourth line of the fourth stanza it has 'of' for 'with'; and the last word of the final stanza of the poem begins with a lower-case letter, not a capital. The poem is published in Collected Poems. PROVENANCE: Glenn Horovitz.
