"Peace! It's Wonderful!" appeared as Chapter One in The Cosmological Eye (Norfolk, Conn.: New Directions, 1939). It begins: "It was only the other night while entertaining an American writer who had come to visit France after a long absence that I realized poignantly what has happened to me since I left my native land..." Miller goes on to describe a walk through Paris which leads up to his manifesto that he is a cosmological writer: "I should hate to be a French or a German or a Russian or an American writer. It must be hell. I am a cosmological writer, and when I open my trap I broadcast to the whole word [sic.?] at once. (Like Father Divine: Peace! It's Wonderful!)..."
[With:] MILLER, HENRY. The Cosmological Eye. Norfolk, Conn.: New Directions, 1939. 8vo, original cloth. FIRST EDITION. EMIL CONASON'S COPY, with his signature on front free endpaper. Dr. Conason was a longtime friend of Miller's who looked after June's ills in her later years.
