Sounds eerily like...I can't guess. Clever and insane; good mix in this case.

thanks for inputs. Of all poets, very few--- none, nearly, have noticed Edward Lear's name. Yes, I had hiim in mind too. Also, primarily, King Lear, the -blind- and impotent tragic character of Shakespeare. Booth played him. Lincoln's "spirit"(?) harks Booth to redeem the "lost". But Booth has very little power. Booth saved Tad Lincoln from a vehicular accident. But to save a reputation? Not likely. Not as -that- character: King Lear.
very sweet words of encouragement form you guys. Helps stoke my pot boilers. thanks so much, Reid
