Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.
         -from "Burnt Norton"

ELIOT, T.S.  Four Quartets.  New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1943. Original black cloth, original dust-jacket.  $4200

First edition, first issue.  Book states "first American edition" on the copyright page; in the first state dustwrapper with price of $2.00 and nine titles on the rear panel (later issues have six titles).   Book fine in a very good dust-jacket with slight soiling to rear panel, just minimal edge-wear and a few small chips to spine corners.  A worthy copy of a rare and important book.
