 		More literary references. This person certainly does "read, much of the night".

"That I shall never look upon thee more"
is from
When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be
John Keats

"unimaginable filth and stench; and disease"
is from
"The Mysterious Stranger"
by Mark Twain

 		Well, I just forwarded the email to Dana, with the message (essentially) that I think she needs to try to communicate with this Princess, and that we think it's a benevolent force, even if the SPDR or Queen or whatever are malevolent forces... Hoping to help. Anyone got a clue on the T-U-R-T-L-E P-O-W-E-R part? I mean, I used to have that song (read my name, dude)... one of my first CDs back in the day.... Cool

 		"*** END: FULL LICENSE ***"

searching at google, with this in quotes, gives you the top ten or so links to projectghutenberg.com(sp?)

wasnt there already a reference to the ghutenberg bibles somewhere?

 		Didnt email
I got the email, but I never emailed her from the email I got it on. The one I got it was one I registered here, and at the blogsite.

Quote:
The History of Dana

by

The Sleeping Princess



It is the object of this to present The news



Chapter I. The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone



The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone



the queen wishes

The Sleeping Princess

sealed into an airtight container

hiding from the queen

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere

Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together



The Widow

the blues walked in and met me

The Widow will get me

the sleeping princess are in hiding

One must be so careful these days.



the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess" (?)

MARK but this flea, and mark in this

don't like it

I can't help it

a proper fool

a bad banana

unimaginable filth and stench; and disease

he can't write his name or read a book



I read, much of the night



Chapter II. Dana friendless and alone



Dana a friend/good guy.

Dana is not an artificial being. nor is she a program. She is human. She is flesh and blood.



Dana

You're as cuddly as the cat

You're as charming as the butterfly

the favorite of the plebeian masses

Being the friend



you and I together allies, and if the queen pleased thrown into a condition of extreme danger

"Of course I will stick.

I'll stick by you

though thin and though thick!"

best friend

This one means you're happy: Smile



Chapter IV



The Sleeping Princess passed through a great variety of scenes, and met with many extraordinary adventures and narrow escapes, which, however, can not be here particularly detailed.

I found

a secret was revealed

I should not be able to make any one understand how exciting it all was.

I brought it home and hid it in a secret place



Chapter V need help right quick, on the double



when I feel

That I shall never look upon thee more

Her name is Dana.

the house is so sad and lonesome



Dana

being persuaded to

come back

to talk

to me



Well, I will tell you

that secret

I found



maybe you can help me (?)



T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Power!



love



*** END: FULL LICENSE ***


Just re-posted it with no formatting to be sure that I didnt miss any differences.

Same colors, same everything

Also, Traxus <traxus@bungie.org> wrote an email to the ladybee777 address with the text of the Project Gutenberg text of History of Julius Caesar, by Jacob Abbott.

My guess is that this e-mail is almost entirely constructed from emails sent to ladybee777. Some one also sent the text of The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot and that was used in this latest e-mail.

 		Perhaps we are supposed to seperate out the Project Gutenburg quotes from the text extracted from the emails that we have sent. If we did that would we wind up with two seperate messages?

(And as I was typing that I recieved a copy of the email - therefore it appears to be sent to emails sent to ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com and not random people on the forum as this is my first post).
