Song and its Fountains. London: Macmillan, 1932. First Edition. Pp v, 133. Blue cloth lettered in gilt, in original printed dust jacket. A nice bright copy.

Sketch on the title page by Russell, depicting two figures perched on a hillside looking out into the horizon. In coloured pencil, with his signature.

“In what follows I have tried to track song back to its secret fountains. I have thought it unnatural for lyric to follow lyric in a volume without a hint of the bodily of spiritual circumstances out of which they were born.”

George Russell was one of the major writers in the Irish Literary Renaissance.
