We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Do any of you out there have a copy of the "archy" books by Don Marquis? I am looking for the chapter titled "archy has a seizure," and in particular for the poem "The Hero Cockroach," but I don't know which book it is in.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I apologize if I'm stating the obvious, but have you tried Googling to see if the text is online?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My books are worn and missing pages, but you can check [link] for info.

Google has only turned up part of the poem, but that is where I got the info that the poem I am looking for is in the "archy has a seizure" chapter. If I can narrow down which book that particular chapter is in it would be a step forward. I'm not willing to buy all the archy titles from Amazon just for the one poem.
donmarquis.com is a nice web site. I had found it before and it has some good stuff I had never read before, but it doesn't have the one piece I am looking for.

I bet the webmasters would be able to pin down which book it is, though. It doesn't appear to be in Archy and Mehitabel (using Amazon's Search Inside feature), which would narrow it to the two OOP books or one of the Archyology books.
When did you read it first?

I read it first in 1974 in a 5th grade textbook, an anthology compiled by Louis Untermeyer. The same book introduced me to Rudyard Kipling and Guy Wetmore Carryl.
Fond memories.
edited because the man's name is "Carryl," not "Carroll."

In that case, I don't *think* it would be in the Archyology ones.
I hate when the one piece I want is the hardest one to find.

Okay, I'm evil, cause I got this from Fandom_wank, but really. Anne Rice, bless her, responds to her critics at Amazon. Scroll down about half the page: it's the one without paragraph breaks.
Every word is in perfect place. [. . .] You don't get all this? Fine. But I experienced an intimacy with the character in those scenes that shattered all prior restraints, and when one is writing one does have to continuously and courageously fight a destructive tendency to inhibition and restraint.
Sigh. And t bwah!
