Dear friends of the message board:
I am not sufficiently gifted at this computer stuff to include or post
attachments of items I have scanned. If it would please you, I will
type directly into the message board some of the one page documents,
poems etc. from the manuscripts in my possession as I transcribe them.
This seems to me the readiest way to get some of this poetry of CAS
into your hands. If there is a way to post scanned material, let me
know. If this is not a useful or acceptable approach please tell me
since the time I have to give to the task is limited. I would
love to pass on to you "The Epitaph for the Earth", for example in
this general forum - after all, I still have the original, and therefore,
the copyright, but you would have, as it were, a "preview" of a few
things that may hopefully end up as an addendum to the collected
works of CAS. I deeply appreciate the fact that you are all forcing
me to think in areas to which I have given little attention these
many years, and allowing me to bounce thoughts off your experience
and perceptions, and having you bounce right back. That's where
learning and growth occur: debate and discussion. Remember
Orson Welles' great line in "The Third Man": Italy has had centuries
of war, conflict, and torture and gave us Titian, Raphael, and Da
Vinci -- Switzerland has had 400 years of peace and has given us--
the cuckoo clock!
