Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air
By ThomasGray (1716-71)

Mami:
If the minor correction was meant toprovide an internet link to Thomas Gray, fine. Providing a link was not necessary since Gray is such a well-knownpoet, and acknowledging him (and not the website) as the source of the poem was ample credit - much like quoting a sloka and say that it is from the Gita, and not whose or which website’s version of the Gita.
If any one wants to know who is Thomas Gray, they shouldtake the trouble of finding out, no spoon-feeding necessary.
