1925376370New York: Brentano's 1925. 24 pp. 8vo. Printed self wrappers quite worn. Interior Fine correction to p. 9. 24 pp. 8vo. Patience Worth the spirit of a woman who supposedly lived in the late 17th century in Dorsetshire England and immigrated to America before being killed by Native Americans began communicating with Pearl Leonore Curran of Mound City Illinois in 1913. Patience gave inspiration through a ouija board and in the form of vivid pictorial visions. This collaboration between spirit and human woman produced several novels prose and poetry of which this is a collection.<br /> <br /> Inscription to the front wrapper reads "With best wishes To Dr. . from . E. L. Beach 175 E 80th St." And with seemingly more divined poetry "From Patience I in ing have poured this wine within a cup. Let those who hath thirst - drink. For the self shall be as the peace upon his soul. And the goblet shall ne'er run dry." In keeping with much of the religious undertones to Patience's poetry this passage recalls John 4:14 "whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."<br /> <br /> An Easter Greeting is an anthology of verse poetry with interjections by Patience in something approximating what a 17th century rural woman would sound like "Haed I a pettiskirt wi' a proper frill / I'd sit on a throne fit for a princess."<br /> <br /> A rare product of the spirit realm.

Rare in such a lovely jacket.<p>The second novel by bestselling author and poet Pearl L. Curran who claimed to be channelling the spirit of Patience Worth a 17th century English immigrant to America. In a Smithsonian Magazine article Gioia Diliberto writes: "Speaking through a Ouija board operated by Pearl Lenore Curran a St. Louis housewife of limited education Patience Worth was nothing short of a national phenomenon in the early years of the 20th century. Though her works are virtually forgotten today the prestigious Braithwaite anthology listed five of her poems among the nation's best published in 1917 and the New York Times hailed her first novel as a 'feat of literary composition.' Her output was stunning. In addition to seven books she produced voluminous poetry short stories plays and reams of sparkling conversation-nearly four million words between 1913 and 1937.".
