After the fall

Sometimes I find simple notes. Names, dates, phone numbers. But on occasion there are notes like Adam's, which just sap the energy out of you. Many thanks, Adam, for sending in your note:

It's the only reason I bought the book. There's a bunch of writing on the back inside cover, but the front inside cover is my favorite part.

The book is the Academy Classics edition of Three Narrative Poems (by Coleridge, Arnold, and Tennyson), edited by George A. Watrous, A.M. Copyright 1898.

Here's my best effort at a transcription. Enjoy!
