I happened on it while googling for something else. By the way, there are Poe-inspired origami items on Pinterest and Etsy, e.g. Fortuneteller, https://images.app.goo.gl/Zmik5ZN2nSpCy71h9 (Seen on Pinterest) Karen Karen Reeds karenmre...@gmail.com Princeton Public Library Origami Group {on hiatus] Epigram for Wall Street (from Wikisource, the free online library; more details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poems_by_Edgar_Allan_Poe) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Epigram_for_Wall_Street Epigram for Wall Street by Edgar Allan Poe <https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Edgar_Allan_Poe> I'll tell you a plan for gaining wealth, Better than banking, trade or leases — Take a bank note and fold it up, And then you will find your money in creases! This wonderful plan, without danger or loss, Keeps your cash in your hands, where nothing can trouble it; And every time that you fold it across, 'Tis as plain as the light of the day that you double it! -The End- [Anonymous, Printed in the New York *Evening Mirror* on January 23, 1845] Sent from my iPhone
