Content Description

From the Collection:

This collection consists of a one page typescript of one of Wilcox's most widely reprinted poems entitled "Interlude." The poem begins with: "The days grow shorter, the nights grow longer; The head-stones thicken, along the way..." The typescript is titled and signed by Wilcox, in ink, and has a one-word revision and some corrections. The collection also contains a one page, undated handwritten letter by Wilcox which says: "This is the best I can do and I can not think of a better title. If you care for the verses & want to rename them you can do so...send the poem back here if you do not want it."
