Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Presumably the first edition. Quarto. Single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages. Edgewear including some chips and tears and toning to the exterior, still a complete and very good copy. For voice and piano. Plate imprint, "Love Unresigned - 4." There is very little information about the composer of this piece, Philip Dalmas, available online, but we were able to find a mention of him in a program for the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 1918-1919 season. It lists the songs of his to be performed (alongside many other composers) at a concert on February 3, 1919, and prints an excerpt from an article from 1900 in the *North American* that discusses a performance Dalmas gave at a convention of the Whitman Fellowship (setting Whitman's poetry to music) and speaks a bit about the type of person he was, ".Dalmas sang his own songs, eight in number, and displayed such daring in method as seemed somehow to give his work remarkable and exceptional identity. Dalmas's innovations excite extreme opinion either to applaud or condemn. Dalmas proposes to publish a volume of these songs. He is of Philadelphia parentage, and has spent years both abroad and at home in severe training. He is a man of ripe ideas, gravely interested in the social movement in England." This piece is unrecorded by *OCLC* and appears to be equally scarce in the trade. An obscure piece by an equally obscure composer.

[4] + 74pp., 4to. On 78 pieces of paper, bound with metal clasp in blue card folder, with white paper label with title on front cover ('THE DESERT MINSTREL | AND | OTHER POEMS | BY | VINCENT LOCKE ELLIS') and second label with address on inside front cover. In good condition, lightly-aged, in aged and worn folder. In worn manila envelope, with note by R. P. Lister (see below) reading: 'Typescript of collection of poems (unpublished) by Vivian Locke Ellis'. Three-page 'Index' gives the titles of the 69 poems, beginning with 'To W. de la M. [i.e. Walter de la Mare] from V. L. E.' and ending with the longest poem in the book, 'April, 1917 | To Edward Thomas; | Killed in action on Easter Monday'. Other poems include: 'Two Shepherds (To W. de la Mare)', 'Hitler's Threat at Danzig', 'Sexton's Rally', 'Down Perim's Coasts' and 'In Temple Gardens'. Ellis's obituary in The Times, 1 June 1950, describes him as 'the author of a number of poems of high quality in the grand tradition of English lyrical verse'. He was one of the Georgian poets, appearing with Edward Thomas, W. H. Davis, Walter de la Mare and J. C. Squire in the group's 1918 anthology '12 Poets'. Ellis was also the backer behind John Middleton Murry's 'Adelphi' magazine. His career spanned more than forty years, with his first published work, 'An Elegy', appearing in 1904, and 'Collected Lyrical Poems' in 1946. The Times obituary notes that Ellis was 'engaged on completing a further collection at the time of his death', and the present item is clearly that collection, several of its 69 poems having previously published, at least as early as 1910 ('Go, Saintlike Sybil' appeared in 'The Academy' in that year), and with one poem, 'To A. V. B.' [i.e. Arnold Vincent Bowen (1901-1947)], dated 'December 1947'. This item comes from the papers of fellow-poet Richard Percival Lister (1914-2014), who with Ellis was an active member of the London literary society 'The Saturdays', founded in 1944. The poem 'To A. V. B.' is an elegy for Bowen (another of 'The Saturdays'), and apparently unpublished. It exemplifies Ellis's qualities: 'Brave spirit, loving life too well | to gird at death, | This halt you make is but to | take a deeper breath. | We who are left are only one | the less. | Only! Were only less the wilderness. | I who have journeyed further | but to stand | And watch you pass me - | Brother, lend me your hand.' Note: Kenneth Hopkins, in his autobiography, describes Ellis as a "complete poet" ("The Corruption of a Poet", p.202).
