Just heard this on the radio; sounds like Bobby is taking writing lessons from Joe Biden. Who’s This Guy Dylan Who’s Borrowing Lines From Henry Timrod? By MOTOKO RICH Published: September 14, 2006 Passages from a folk legend’s latest album, “Modern Times,” echo a 19th-century Confederate’s verses. Te rest ya have to pay for. nytimes.com@ggQ7E_l_eeQ3AleXlQ251lQ3F@Q7Evl(Q3DvBalQ251PuQ26Q3FQ2BAQ7E(Q26 Additionally, the album is Dylan's second straight to make minor waves for heavily and directly quoting written work. Days after its release, it was reported by Albuquerque disc jockey Scott Warmuth that a number of songs contained words that were heavily inspired by the 19th century American poet Henry Timrod, with several lines directly quoting his work. Prominent examples include: In "Beyond the Horizon", Dylan sings "My memories are drowning/In mortal bliss". A portion of Timrod's Our Willie reads "Which drowned the memories of the time/In a merely mortal bliss!" "When The Deal Goes Down" features most of the direct lifts. Dylan's line regarding "the still of the night, in the world's ancient light/Where wisdom grows up in strife" echoes Timrod's Retirement, which first talked of the "a wisdom that grows up in strife." Also, Dylan's "Things I never meant nor wished to say" is right out of Timrod's Sonnet 13, though flipped to the first person. Both "Workingman's Blues #2" and Timrod's Two Portraits rhyme the phrase "feel a lover's breath" with "temporary death." en.wikipedia.org
