Recording those last two now!
A.M.B. :roll:

Between illnesses, work, and vacation, May wasn't my best Librivox month. But I'm back and ready to do some more recording, editing, and PLing!

Thank you!
We are almost there, but there are a couple of corrections needed for 88 Beauty.

Yea, not all mortal, not all death my mind,
When, watching by lone twilight waters’ brim
I tremblingly decipher, as they wind,
Her deathless hieroglyphs, though strange and dim.

So for this faith, when Thou my dust shalt bring
To dust, remember well, Great Alchemist,
Yearly to change my wintry earth to spring,
That I with Beauty still may keep my tryst.

The bolded words should rhyme.
Mind - Wind both long "i"

Al-che-mist - Tryst both short "i" as in the mist of the early morning, or "myst" as in "mystery"

Hope you can do these right away so we can wrap this up.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you for the quick turn around! :D

I've cleaned up several things in the Magic Window, and with that, we are finally ready to go to catalog. :D

Thanks you to ALL of our finer readers have have lent their voices to reading these poems. :clap:
Special thanks to Bruce who has kept me on the straight and narrow, and who spotted several serious textual errors in this Gutenberg ebook -- one of their earlier productions, I think

And, the first and final thanks go to MaryAnn who now has the task(s) of getting this into the catalog.
