Bob Dylan

It seems Bob has been borrowing some lines from a 19th century poet. There is an article in the New York Times about it. Also some discussion at the Dylan Pool.

It seems that many of the lyrics on that album, Mr. Dylan’s first No. 1 album in 30 years (down to No. 3 this week), bear some strong echoes to the poems of Timrod, a Charleston native who wrote poems about the Civil War and died in 1867 at the age of 39.
