      Note to the Reader:

      Our EPUBs are formatted as reflowable text so that our books can be accessible and will display well on as many different reading screens and devices as possible. This means that for poetry some lines may end up breaking and carrying over to additional lines.

      Because there are many different viewing devices and reading preferences available for digital books, we cannot guarantee that the text in this EPUB will look exactly as is displayed in the print edition or as the authors intended.
