Doug & Bill,
I appreciate your responses. First I've heard "craignant" myself and I needed a word starting with "c" to begin my first line of my imagined acrostic. Ran it thru google translate and your "fearful" within range. Agree about the possibility of a poem via a book too fragile to read, though I can't say I've written one. Always want to avoid the possibility of lowering the condition of a rare book I don't own, so I ask the dealer who owns it to show it to me.
