         | "The titles of the poems in the tiny book have long been known
         | thanks to Bronte's personal catalog of her works (among them
         | "The Beauty of Nature," "Song of an Exile," and "On Seeing the
         | Ruins of the Tower of Babel").
         | 
         | But the poems have never even been summarized, let alone
         | published. It remains to be seen if the future buyer will
         | decide to make its contents public."
