Wasn't it lifted, unacknowledged, from Shelley? <br /><br />OR is it the kind of lifting that suggests, "We all should know it, so there's no need to credit it"? Like when John Lennon lifted "Here come ol' flattop" from Chuck Berry, or "Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you" from Kahil Gibran? <br /><br />I used to think Lawrence was one of the adults until the time years ago he had a meltdown on "The McLaughlin Group" over someone's suggestion that some Irish-Catholic-Americans were shipping cash to the IRA. Truthfully, it seemed at the time he was protesting a bit too loudly. <br /><br />Oops!
