American biologist and author (1907–1964) best known for the ecological classic Silent Spring. Souvenir quotation on a double-weight off-white 5.75 x 3.5 embossed collector's card, comprising seven lines of T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Dry Salvages.” In full: “The river is within us, the sea is all about us; the sea is the land’s edge also, the granite into which it reaches, the beaches where it tosses; its hints of earlier and other creatures; the starfish, the hermit crab, the whale’s backbone; the pools where it offers to our curiosity the more delicate algae and the sea anemone. T. S. Eliot.” Carson inscribes to Roger Harris at the top edge and signs at the bottom, “With all good wishes, Rachel Carson.” In fine, clean condition. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
