    Extractions: A Shropshire Lad First edition (variant "A" of the spine label). See Carter, Sparrow and White 2. Presentation copy, inscribed by the poet on the front free endpaper: "A.E. Housman to M.J. Jackson." Lower corners and edges of board covers chipped; general soiling and wear, otherwise in good state. From the collection of Frederick B. Adams, Jr. with his bookplate (designed by Rockwell Kent). In a half morocco slipcase. Housman first met Moses John Jackson at Oxford in 1877. The author later called him "my greatest friend" and described him to Laurence Housman as "the man who had more influence on my life than anyone else". Henry Maas, in his edition of Housman's letters, notes that the author "worshipped" Jackson. Jackson, who married in 1889, and Housman were the subjects of Tom Stoppard's 1998 play "The Invention of Love". John Carter, in the catalogue for a centenary exhibition of Housman held at University College, London, notes: "In later years AEH complied with a fair number of requests for his signature in copies of the first edition; but the original presentation copies, even to his brothers and sisters and to such old friends as A.W. Pollard, were despatched with a printed slip by the publisher. Only two exceptions are known to the compiler: one inscribed to Moses Jackson, now in the collection of Frederick B. Adams, Jr. . . . the other, until recently in the family of AEH's sister, Mrs. E.W. Symons . . . ." In "The Book Collector" (Spring 1962, p. 84) Carter announced that a third example had been traced with an inscription to Mrs. Wise. A fourth example, with an inscription to John Maycock, is in the Seymour Adelman collection at Bryn Mawr College and was exhibited in the 1986 exhibition, "The Name and Nature of A.E. Housman".

87. A. E. Housman Selected Poems
    This page contains selected poems of A. E. housman. The following brief introduction consists of excerpts from an article on housman by Tom Merrill  
    http://www.thehypertexts.com/A. E. Housman Selected Poems.htm
    
    Extractions: Housman began writing poetry at age eight, while still at home under tutelage of a governess, and then won a few awards for poems he wrote at The Bomsgrove School, which he attended on scholarship for seven years before entering Oxford on scholarship at age eighteen. During his college years he wrote only three poems, not to resume poetry-writing until considerably later, at age thirty-five, after a ten year stint as a clerk at the Government Patent Office and a couple years after being appointed, in 1892, to fill the Latin Chair at the University of London. The ease and naturalness and perfect cadence of Housman’s poetry no doubt account for his enduring stature as one of the foremost lyric poets of the past century and a half. If in that Syrian garden, ages slain, You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain, Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night The hate you died to quench and could but fan, Sleep well and see no morning, son of man. But if, the grave rent and the stone rolled by, At the right hand of majesty on high You sit, and sitting so remember yet Your tears, your agony and bloody sweat, Your cross and passion and the life you gave, Bow hither out of heaven and see and save. II When Israel out of Egypt came Safe in the sea they trod; By day in cloud, by night in flame, Went on before them God. He brought them with a stretched out hand Dry-footed through the foam, Past sword and famine, rock and sand, Lust and rebellion, home. I never over Horeb heard The blast of advent blow; No fire-faced prophet brought me word Which way behoved me go. Ascended is the cloudy flame, The mount of thunder dumb; The tokens that to Israel came, To me they have not come. I see the country far away Where I shall never stand; The heart goes where no footstep may Into the promised land. The realm I look upon and die Another man will own; He shall attain the heaven that I Perish and have not known. But I will go where they are hid That never were begot, To my inheritance amid The nation that is not.
