a few responses

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It ends with "die," but both words are in the full quote. As I recall,
the dust jacket only quotes half the couplet:

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange ?ons even death may die
