Dear Evan,

How flabbergasting! How true. How entrancing!

Always with love, 

Lissi - running to grab her Dickenson!

  I just heard the other day that all of Dickinson's poems can be sung to the 
tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas".  I don't know if that is true, but 
certainly this one can. <smile>

    Dear Rik,

    I found the poem at www. bartleby.com.  Here it is in is entirety for your 
reading pleasure.    The first four lines will help you to validate your book.  
I am looking forward to reading The Postcard. 

    Take care,

    Kevin Boozer  

    It's All I Have To Bring Today
It's all I have to bring to-day,  This, and my heart beside,  This, and my 
heart, and all the fields,  And all the meadows wide.  Be sure you count, 
should I forget,--  Some one the sum could tell,--  This, and my heart, and all 
the bees  Which in the clover dwell.  Rik James <d28rik@xxxxxxx> wrote:Okay,

      Any real good Emily Dickenson fans?
      English lit teachers?

      This quote heads up that book The Postcard book by Beverly Lewis that I'm
      trying to validate. 
      And given that the OpenBook version was not produced in Exact View, I have
      not really a way I can think of to come up with the correction. And since
      the character uses this Dickenson in the "postcard" it just might be a 
nice
      thing to know if the possible future Bookshare reader downloads the book!


      So, maybe think of it as your chance on the Weakest Link, or Jeopardy or
      something!

      Here is the text I have ....

      all S7 naue io oring today,

      IJnis, and mu Aeart oeside,

      Unis, and ma £eart, and all t£e fields,

      And all tne meadows wide

      Emily Dickinson (circa 1858)

      Note: I did a Google and got to Poets.org where you can search, but I
      didn't on quick try have success. Good luck! And thanks!
