=="Copied"==
Don't understand the rationale for saying Steinbeck's book title was "copied" from the song. It was reasonable to assume that readers would recognize the very familiar line. If book titles weren't allowed to be quotations, an awful lot of books would need new titles. At one point there was even a joke to the effect that an author searching for a name for his book decided to call it "A Line From Eliot." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 05:37, 28 February 2007 (EST)
