SUMMARY
=======

The audio clips of quotations in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations may not always
exactly match the related texts.

For example, in the poem "Fog" [1916] by Carl Sandburg, the audio clip of the
poet reading does not match the printed quotation.

The quotation appears on the screen as follows:

  ...It sits looking
  over the harbor and city...

In the audio clip, however, Mr. Sandburg says the following:

  ...It sits looking
  over city and harbor...

Mr. Sandburg misread his own poem, and no other recording of his voice reading
was available to include with Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
