De... arata Spent some time today figuring out what I can do online as a holder of a local county library card. Turns out more than I thought, including photocopies of old records back to the Revolution. Along the way I ran into a piece on the poem "Desiderata" which was apparently written in Baltimore, or something. I'm not sure I had ever read this original version: http://www.fleurdelis.com/desiderata.htm But it makes me appreciate all the more the spoof I HAD read, called "Deteriarata": http://www.communart.karoo.net/deteriarata.htm
