Some of us here, if I don't project, enjoy trying to find a poem which someone has loved or needs to re-acquire. To accomplish this, a first line, some usefull hints about the author, the genre, the date, the theme or a noteable expression are all facts that help. Generally, at least two of the above are needed for a search unless the seeker gets lucky and just connects with what the searcher knows. Some here have access to engines that can do "string searches" but even those strings need be accurate or unique and not cliche'd. quasimodo1

Thanks Virgil, but I'd like to have it as a brief or "sticky" thread so it doesn't cycle out of view. quasi
