M,

It looks like the MW needs some updating.

This is a very nice project!

Can I add sections 8 & 14 to my list?

Glad you decided to use the short disclaimer

I have a question about No. 10, In Media Vita. As I was researching the poem I came across a version that has a different word: 3rd stanza, 3rd line reads "hot" lads in the version at the Willa Cather Archives and the WC Center, whereas the Guttenberg and Google books version as it as "young lads". What do you think?

Poets! They are always changing their minds!

The version here for LibriVox is the 1923 version. I see that 'hot' appears in the 1903 version, but we are led to believe that Ms. Cather changed the text. (Maybe for good reason.)

I hope my attempt to sound like a cockney flower girl is less awful than Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady

Can I add sections 8 & 14 to my list?

Glad you decided to use the short disclaimer

How about Audrey's singing?

Thanks for the pointer on finding the shorter disclaimer - it is much nicer.

And, I have added sections 8 and 14 for you.

Thanks,

M

I agree with Kevin. She must have decided that she liked this version better. M

Kevin - I've posted section 28, The Swedish Mother for PL.

I do like Willa Cather's writings - my first experience with her was My Antonia for high school English many moons ago.
