Hello folks! I wanted to use the poem "Sacred Emily", by Gertrude Stein, for a presentation but for some reason it's impossible to find it on the web. It can't be the copyright, or can it? It was published in 1913, and since the public-domain rule applies to works from 1923 onwards, I thought I'd have no problem finding the poem. Could you help me up by posting it, or could you at least explain to me why it's not yet public domain? Thanks in advance.

I can't find it either but there's a little bit of the poem on this website:

But thanks for posting b/c I was thinking about that line recently and was wondering where it came from.
