Does anyone know the source of the text of the poem "Genius" that
Hank Risan quotes in this interview?  He claims he found it in
Twain's personal journals.  However, I don't find any poem listed
with that title in the indexes of  _Notebooks & Journals_.  Nor
is there a piece by that title in Arthur Scott's _On the Poetry
of Mark Twain_.  Nothing in the volume of _Letters_ indexes and nothing
in _Early Tales & Sketches_.  Where did that poem come from?
