	Does anyone read Latin?
	I have a request for translation of some Latin printed on (what looks to 
me like) some fine fabric.  Have not seen it personally, but have  5 JPGs 
showing text clearly.  Will be happy to send them directly to anyone 
interested.
	Don't need an exact translation; here's what the person says:

  last time this happened i had fabric
w/chinese characters & was in computer class w/chinese students who
said it was fragments of a nature poem repeated in ornate
handwriting. also, the fabric itself is a remnant so if there is a
whole text i might not have enough to show it. i got the fabric
remnant "as is" & i bought what they had of it. i want to know what
it says before i do something w/it. my idea is a wall hanging but i
want to see if the text suggests anything, if it says anything
like, "the king wore gold" or "the saints wore linen" etc, so i'm not
so much interested in the exact text though i'd like to know that,
too, but i'm interested in the topic & if the content suggests
anything.
end
