THE last paragraph of reader S. Sundareson's comments on plagiarism published on Aug 20 should read:

The phrase "blood, toil, sweat and tears" was actually lifted from Byron's poem "The Age of Bronze" and the phrase "Hell knows no fury as a woman scorned" was taken from William Congreve's couplet: "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned/Nor hell a fury like woman scorned."
