Lot 358
Williams, Tennessee. Notes for an untitled poem, including 27 typed lines and 77 holograph words written on the back of a creased and chipped 1948 poster for a Parisian painting exhibit. Eight lines are typed on the left side; on the right side, those line have numerous changes--corrections, added lines, marked-out lines and added holograph lines. This item was found with the other Tennessee Williams' items offered here. The first three typed lines are: "The beggar folk that are the dead / have crying mouths that never stop / for even in their bloodless veins," continuing on the left, "the want of love is quick and hot," and on the right, "the want of love can never stop." Several of the holograph lines added below to the right side are variations on a couple of lines; he doesn't seem to have made a decision as to which he liked best.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
