Description

"Neither Out Far nor In Deep"

Wonderful handwritten poem by Robert Frost, entitled "Neither Out Far nor In Deep," one page, 5.5 x 7, no date. The three stanza poem, in full: "The people along the sand / All turn and look one way. / They turn their back on the land. / They look at the sea all day. / The land may vary more; / But wherever the truth may be— / The water comes ashore / And the people look at the sea. / They cannot look in deep, / They cannot look out far; / But such the watch they keep / From being the kind they are." Signed at the conclusion by Frost. Framed to an overall size of 10.25 x 11.25. In fine condition, with the lower edge irregularly trimmed, and light show-through from mounting traces on the reverse corners. First published in 1936, Neither Out Far nor In Deep is a wonderfully cryptic little poem, and an ideal example of original Frost verse.
