Goliath and DavidRobert Graves, 1917GRAVES, Robert (1895-1985). Goliath and David. [London: Chiswick Press, 1917.] First edition of Graves’s second book, signed by the author. This collection of poems went to press just before Graves returned to France in January, 1917. He had been badly wounded (and reported dead) at the Somme in July of 1916, but by August had sufficiently recovered to write the poem "Escape," which appears here: "...But I was dead, an hour or more: / I woke when I'd already passed the door / that Cerberus guards and half-way down the road / To Lethe as an old Greek sign-post showed..." (p. 15). This copy is signed "Robert Graves" on the title page, with the printed name inked through.Octavo. (Small smudge on title corner.) Original plain dark red wrappers (backstrip sunned). Custom clamshell box.
