The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. |
A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so. |
To be sure you have an
up to date first edition |
[xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
in the first week of the next month. |
Since our ftp program has
a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
new copy has at least one byte more or less.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) |
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. |
The
fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. |
This
projected audience is one hundred million readers. |
If our value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar, then we produce 2
million dollars per hour this year we, will have to do four text
files per month: thus upping our productivity from one million. |
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
Files by the December 31, 2001. |
[10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion] |
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end
of the year 2001. |
We need your donations more than ever! |
All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/IBC", and are
tax deductible to the extent allowable by law ("IBC" is Illinois
Benedictine College). |

THE SONNETS
by William Shakespeare
1
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die, |
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel: |
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring, |
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee. |
2
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,
Will be a tattered weed of small worth held:
Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say within thine own deep sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise. |
How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse'
Proving his beauty by succession thine. |
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold. |
3
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest,
Now is the time that face should form another,
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother. |
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry? |
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity? |
Thou art thy mother's glass |
