But I wouldn't have had to rely on the secret for the Hitler quote or this one. I "borrowed" the "not waving but drowning" line for one of my own poems (with a slight alteration, of course), and Kirsty MacColl downright stole it (along with the words of a few other poets) for a fantastic song.
Thanks for the reminder. It was nice to see Stevie's poem again. She coulda been a contender.
