A few years ago I came across a poem I thought was lovely. I have misplaced it and can't find it in print anywhere.
I've gone to the library to pour through poetry books but with no success. I've even written to "Dear Abby" but received no response.The poem is about death and it compares it to a sailing ship with friends and family saying farewell while on a distant shore someone else is saying "here she comes."
I would really appreciate it if you could help me find this poem. You can either print it in the newspaper, mail it to me or let me know who wrote it and where to find it.
Thanks for your help. - H.S., Salt Lake City.
The poem is titled "The Ship" and is found in an anthology called "Poems that Live Forever" compiled by Hazel Felleman. The book is published by Doubleday & Co., Inc., Garden City, N.J.
The author is unknown.
The book is available for reference at the Historical Department Church Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A reference librarian there was kind enough to look it up for us.
The book may be available at other libraries, as well.
Beta blockers don't cause depression
Beta-blocking drugs, used to treat high blood pressure, angina, migraine headaches and other conditions, do not appear to cause depression, contrary to some early reports, researchers said Tuesday.
The finding was based on a study of more than 4,300 patients in New Jersey conducted by Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association.
Over the years there have been a number of scattered studies suggesting that the drugs cause depression, nightmares and other problems, the researchers said.
But the study found that "ongoing beta-blocker use was not causally related to ... depression." - Reuter.
