Knox Poem edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The quote at the end of the article is interesting. Although attributed to Savage in the article, it is a quote within a quote in the reference. The passage actually comes from the poem 'Mortality', by William Knox. So it's misattributed here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:280:c180:a70:3991:4d66:a904:294e (talk • contribs)

Oh, yes, I see it now. The Knox poem was also one of Lincoln's favorites, one he could recite by heart. Thanks for your note! Binksternet (talk) 16:48, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
