Unpublished SRD

Post by Mr.Land »

I noticed recently that Donaldson has at least one rather long unpublished short story in his archives at Kent State University. It's called Human On My Faithless Arm and is from 1988. Obviously, it didn't meet his standards for publication, but I'm still curious. Does anyone who has visited KSU know anything more about the story?

[1988]. Human on My Faithless Arm. Typed story. 40p. [Unpublished.]
Something there is in beauty.

Don't know anything about it.

The title is an allusion to a W H Auden poem.
  • Lay your sleeping head, my love,
    Human on my faithless arm;
    Time and fevers burn away
    Individual beauty from
    Thoughtful children, and the grave
    Proves the child ephemeral:
    But in my arms till break of day
    Let the living creature lie,
    Mortal, guilty, but to me
    The entirely beautiful.
Maybe that's a clue to it's content, but if so, it's not a useful one.
