First edition. 8vo., original dark blue cloth lettered in gilt. London: W. H. Stewart & Co., 41 Farringdon Street, n.d. The author has transcribed a sonnet "To Lionel Johnson" on the front free endpaper, and dated it 27th Sept 1895. The poem is extremely stylishly written out, with the dash of a professional artist, and is a remarkable statement of "young discipleship". Fitzpatrick seems to envy Johnson his faith "I am outcast, shelterless and cold . . . I, with poor Pan must homeless shiver ." Fitzpatrick, described by the Dictionary of Irish Biography (he doesn't get an entry, but earns a substantial footnote) as a "merchant tailor", was associated with the Irish Theosophists in Dublin before moving to Stratford where he edited a Shakespearean journal. He published two volumes of verse and George Russell, surely driven by ties of friendship, reviewed this volume warmly, in 1895??and now comes a volume of lyrics which has that transcendental note which is peculiar to our younger writers. It is full of the mystery and commingling of the human and the divine soul.? A near fine copy with the neat bookplate of Burns Gillam by Rockwell Kent.
