"Human remains and items found" read the headlines today, in the ongoing Florida search for Brian Laundrie.
---------------------- [CBS News] --------------- The FBI confirmed Wednesday that authorities have found "what appears to be human remains" at the site where they were searching for Brian Laundrie. Michael McPherson, special agent in charge of the FBI's Tampa field office, also said authorities found personal items nearby -- including a backpack and notebook -- that they believe belong to Laundrie.
The suspected human remains were found in an area previously underwater, the FBI said. Authorities are investigating whether the remains belong to Brian Laundrie. --------------------- [end, CBS News excerpt]
...found in an area previously underwater -- would a notebook survive hanging out underwater for a period of -- what -- days? Nights? Weeks?
-------------------- Does this seem real?

II
The senses folding thick and dark
About the stifled soul within
We guess diviner things beyond,
And yearn to them with yearning fond;
We strike out blindly to a mark
Believed in, but not seen.
III
We vibrate to the pant and thrill
Wherewith Eternity has curled
In serpent-twine about God's seat;
While, freshening upward to His feet,
In gradual growth His full-leaved will
Expands from world to world.
IV
And, in the tumult and excess
Of act and passion under sun
We sometimes hear -- oh, soft and far
As silver star did touch with star,
The kiss of Peace and Righteousness
Through all things that are done
V
God keeps his holy mysteries
Just on the outside of man's dream....
