Gerard Manley hopkins

That's a different cover, moreother.

 

thanks to everyone

 

Canadian lol so that "THEY " (book experts) would know the difference I guess

 

ya that also grimm

 

like beanie babies they put an extra tag on it to show it's canadian issues

 

OK. It's different cover, meaning it's a later printing. There should be publication data before the main title. The point is: there's nothing 19th century about this book as an artifact, nor about the poem written on the flyleaf. The Penguin Poets series was not introduced until 1940 (with a volume of Tennyson).

I think the date on that poem might be 98.

 

I absolutely agree with you. I never said it was anything else. The book itself was not Lloyd's point. He wanted to know about the poem inscribed inside, written by someone else unknown.

 

I realize you never did. But there was an initial hope that the poem might be 1899.

 

an initial what?

 

I've edit my previous post. Somehow the second part of the sentence got lost in some other dimension. It's probably chumming up with a bunch of lost socks.

 

We took care of that a ways back.

 

could be 98 sloppily done

 

ya if the poems good was good i would rip it out and frame it chuck the book it's all cut up. looks like i can chuck it

 

hope lol

 

always remember,
you can weave a new basket over an old bottle,
but you can't weave an old basket over a new bottle !

 

thanks everyone

 

The word 'those' is mis-spelled. Not a very careful or literate poet.

 

good eye never even noticed that lol, ya it's firestarter, 1 less copy, make everyone else's that more rare lol

 

They also misspelled "angel" as "angle." Although maybe they did really mean "angle."

 

already garbaged it
