Thanks for posting this. Compelling stuff indeed. It certainly looks and "feels" like it's Leonard's penmanship. Far more so than either of the "signatures" in the Drumcliff visitor book ....

This does look like something LC made have done during that time. The Drumcliff signature followed by 'sublime' sure sounds like LC again, and then the Jess Cohen signature...... We all know that family does join the UHTC during this tour - possible. On the other hand, the subsequent L. Cohen, if indeed it is not an original, is a pathetic attempt at levity. But who knows, maybe LC decided to pay homage to Yeats twice :?

Kindest regards,
