According to Auden's biographer Humphrey Carpenter, Auden met Carritt in Carritt, the inspiration for some of his earliest love poetry didn't fully reciprocate Auden's passion, but their friendship persisted for 45 years. In 1930 they took a walking tour over Easter vacation visiting Hadrian's Wall. Approximately 100 copies were printed (this the issue in green folder) for sale at the festival, and reproduced with the poet's corrections from the Durham University copy.

9 AlexanderRareBooks.com (802) p Eberhart, Richard. SHIFTS OF BEING. NY: Oxford University Press, First Edition. Blue-green paper-covered boards, spine lettered in gold; 8vo. A variant state: as the author writes in his inscription on the front free end paper "This is an ur-edition. It appeared without a Contents page and had to be recalled so now is a collector's item". Eberhart's bibliographer notes the tipped in contents page in two variants, but evidently did not see any copies before they were "recalled". This copy inscribed to another New England poet and signed "Dick". A letter (Als) covering a full page regarding the work of another poet (poem in fact) and beginning by thanking the poet for a party is laid in. Some of the letter I can not decipher including the name of the male poet discussed. Although a few of the "ur-editions" may have escaped, they are likely exceedingly uncommon, and not examined by the bibliographer.

NY: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, First Edition. A volume of verse published some 17 years before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, and thus rather uncommon.
