The final section, \"That This,\" delivers beautiful short squares of verse that might look at home in a hymnal, with their orderly appearance packing startling power: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That this book is a history of\u003cbr\u003e a shadow that is a shadow of\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Me mystically one in another\u003cbr\u003e another another to subserve.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833674543309,"sku":"9780811219181","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_d8457262-869a-448a-ad86-e59747228595.jpg?v=1790892774","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/that-this","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
