Places where whole sentences (or considerable portions thereof) were found to be illegible are noted with a bracketed ellipsis […]. Whole paragraphs found to be illegible have been noted in the following manner: [P] [?][?] would we have if the words golden crimson and the like were stricken from our vocabularies and our poets forced instead to describe the apple green heavens.
