Title
‘One Hundred Dawns’ [versions with numbered sections]
Date

Description
Multiple typescript versions - the title occurs seven times, though some versions are fragmentary - of 'One Hundred Dawns', a title Herman used repeatedly for sequences of short prose-poetic statements/aphorisms (not always numbering 100) that had their origins in his jotter notebooks. Three of the versions also use the subtitle 'Short waves'.
