GR: an entire line is missing!

[Alex Colter]

My little brother has this copy, go easy on the Spine as it can Crack
rather easily, other than that it is quite good...
reminds me of my 'Collected Poems of William Blake' I had it for one week
and *"geesschwindig"*  the Spine was broken
and suddenly I had many separate Parts... nice for placing around the
remains and studying as I meditate upon the Text Itself,
but otherwise...
