Description

Typed poem on an off-white 5.5 x 9 sheet, signed at the conclusion in green ink by Hughes. The poem, entitled "Snob," in full: "If your reputation / In the community is good / Don't snub the other fellow- / It might be misunderstood- / Because a good reputation / Can commit suicide / By holding its head / Too far to one side." Hughes makes a single correction to the last line. In fine condition, with show-through at the top from an old dealer notation on the back.
