I suppose I could accept Stevenson (1924) as a reference if there were a bibliography of Mr. Stevenson's works somewhere in sight. A search of bartleby.com shows only some notes about Mr. Stevenson as editor of some works on Victorian poetry (at least 18 volumes worth) 2nd edition, 1922, but nothing that I could find with the year 1924 associated with it.

Faldage, I have the exact name of the Stevenson work at home, and will post it for you (by editing this post) when I get home from work. BTW, Stevenson also anthologized poetry. I have on my shelf a 4000-page (!) collection he put together, which went through several editions. Now you know why I started some "poetry" threads!

Edit: Google up "Burton E. Stevenson" 1924 and you'll find Famous Single Poems And the Controversies Which Have Raged Around Them (London: George G. Harrap, 1924), which I believe was reprinted in 1977.

The Declaration of Independence

By Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

We were so friendly you and I,
We see no longer eye to eye.
Oh what a shame, oh me, oh my.

We’re of your race,
Yet need our space,
Please let us be,
Oh my, oh me.

All the world has heard our cry,
And now they get to see us try.
We WILL be free
Oh my, oh me.

The people of this continent
Are with God’s gifts so confident,
Certain rights with blood we buy,
Oh me oh my, oh my oh me.

Governments are here to serve,
And from this view we will not swerve.
We do agree to disagree.
Oh my, oh me.



I got started on this on my lunch hour, but I need to get a huge amount of stuff done before I go home to do a medium amount of packing. I'll be back on 1/12/02, and I hope to see the rest of the declaration done by that time!

PS

I may get a chance to look in but certainly only briefly. Will be in hopefully sunny Tampa. I guess I should have inquired to see if there are any ayleurs in those parts. Let me know by tonight!
