<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 216452, member: 44&quot;]My first thougt was a young Lincoln depicted dreaming in the grass, but his hair would not be cut this short on the sides and the bowtie not right. Thinking of Lincoln brought up my second thought, poet, author, etc... Carl Sandburg. His most noted works were on Lincoln. The subject matter would fit a dreaming poet. Sandburg was noted for his bowties especially in his younger years. He did wear bowties in later years but also regular ties. 2 elements now make me think *not* Sandburg are the neatness and shorthess of his hair on top and having a slight grim. Sandburg had more hair on top and parted his hair almost in the middle with the sides of the part hanging down. Just about all pictures of him, formal and informal, has the hair hanging down. A more serious facial expression was used by him and the artists depictions of him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site.

If this is a person of note, I&#039;m surprised his name isn&#039;t on it somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
