Yesterday, Lew Spratlan, a former composition teacher of mine and
Bethany's, won a Pulitzer prize for his opera "Life is a Dream".  Here
is a palindrome in his honor:

Erosion

Illicit song at far,
clientele fill autumnal tarp,
swelter, fret.
Lew Spratlan Mutual Life
let Neil craft agnostic Illinois ore.
