Posted How many versions of this poem are there? I was doing a report on it for my english class when I discovered that the text on the endicott studio website http://www.endicott-studio.com/cofhs/chTheWhiteRoad.html is quite different from the text in Smoke and Mirrors. Was this a mistake? Was the text changed for Smoke and Mirrors? If anyone knows anything I would greatly appreciate their help =^.^= Doom-Kitten

Posted Hide Post I don't believe it is an intentional difference, but a mistyped version. There are a few punctuation and small dropped words through the piece which suggest whoever typed it in didn't read over the text to make sure they got it right. The huge difference which you refer to, of course, is the missing climax, the twist of the tale/tail, which I can't imagine Neil ever leaving out on purpose.

It's that time of year again, folks. Next week Saturday I'll be deleting any Private Messages that have not been responded to after 1/1/2008. Copy/paste any ones you want to keep into your word processing program of choice. Our PM count is up to 10,000, and that's just too high for us to sustain. Remember, email was invented for a reason! Try using that to correspond with your fellow Boardians! It's KEEN!
