Robert Duncan. 
 
New Directions: 1968. Later paperback edition. Softcover. Octavo. Book is a little warped. Spine has a crease cracking down it but it is intact. Smudges and scuffs on the covers. A note is written on the first free endpaper, and the introduction is marked up, but the rest of the book is left alone. 137 pages. Good. Signed by Duncan while attending the James Hillman sessions at the Jung Institute in San Francisco in 1979. 
 
Part of the legendary trilogy including The Opening of the Field and Roots and Branches. Duncan's clipped but majestic diction, and his cut-and-paste poeticizing of the esoteric and occult, once read, won't leave you. 
 
                                "There is no 
             good a man has in his own things except 
                it be in the community of every thing; 
                          no nature he has 
but in his nature hidden in the heart of the living, 
         in the great household. 
                              The cosmos will not 
dissolve its orders at man's evil."
