I really didn't rearrange much of his wording. In fact, the School of the Prophets poem is word for word from his journal entry dated Feb. 3rd, 1868. For the Salt Lake poem, I took a single passage and rearranged a lot, took out words, but it essentially says the same thing. Some of the other poems I compiled out of phrases or sentences from multiple entries. Mike,

Is each line of the poem a different phrase from the journal? I like the School of the Prophets poem, too.
