TAMAMSHEV, Aleksandr Artem'evich.

Iz plamia i sveta [From the Flame and Light].

Petrograd, [R. Golike & A. Vil'borg,] 1918. Large 8vo, pp. 62; in the original blue and gold printed wrappers, faded and worn. First edition. The title is taken from a poem by Lermontov (Est' rechi-znachen'e / Temno il' nichtozhno ... 'There are speeches - whose meaning / Is obscure or insignificant / But it is impossible to hear them without being moved ... From the flame and light / The born word / Would not find an answer / In the worldly noise ...'). It would appear that the fifty poems included here have suffered much the same fate amid the 'noise' of the last 90 years or so; we can discover nothing about Tamamshev (this may well be his earliest collection) and his work is now rare.Kilgour 1155; Tarasenkov p. 362. Not in NUC or the British Library catalogue; OCLC and RLIN locate copies at Stanford and Harvard only.
