Curl markup of haiku by Shiki


Here is a screenshot of the spring kigo haiku of 1897 by Masaoka Shiki. The Curl browser applet has indexed, selectable and searchable utf-8 text instead of SH-JIS. There are over 300 haiku
in this set.

Dorothy Parker one-liner

As seen at http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1554.html aka Representative Poetry ONLINE:

<div class="a"><span class="head"><br<</span></div><div class="a"><span class="numb">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1</span><span class="line">My own dear love, he is strong and bold</span></div>

That is one line of Dorothy Parker's Love Song: readers of books never saw the lead type - but could it have been as ugly, when read in a mirror?

A Curl equivalent in poetry markup might be

{ln 1, My own dear love, he is strong and bold}
