When viewing the "alt-notes" of this text, here are some things you should know.

1. Basics

• Run your curser over the words of the poem
  
• When your cursor changes to show you where a link is, pause the cursor on that link.
  
• Alt text will appear describing information about that portion of the poem.
  

2. Links

• Each link leads back to the alt-note's source of information.
• If the link leads you back to the same page (link is just: #), the source of information is myself.
• You may not have access to all links. For example, if you do not have access to OED.com (Oxford English Dictionary online) the page will not display correctly.

3. Behind the Scenes

• Originally, the Alt-notes were created using the alt text that can be embedded in the mapped sections of an imagemap. Modern browsers don't create screan tips for alt text, so I added title tags to create the same look. The links still have alt text, but it has been duplicated within the title tag.
• The entire text is part of a picture; therefore, you cannot "copy" the text itself. However, it could be copied from the source code.
