Right.  I've tried that, and these particular words didn't show
up.

"There once was a man who said, 'God "Dear Sir:  Your astonishment's odd;
must think it exceedingly odd            *I* am always about in the Quad
if he finds that this tree               And that's why the tree
continues to be                          will continue to be
when there's no one about in the Quad.'" since observed by,
                                            Yours faithfully, God."
