I decided to try to identify the sources for a couple of spoems. I was quite happy to find that it seems to be relatively easy to locate the sources, at least for substantial parts of the messages. One was composed of lines stolen from poems by Baudelaire, Victor Hugo and six other poets. Others included excerpts of 'The Wizard of Oz' and Aesop Fables, as well as a disproportionate amount of Louisa May Alcott bits. From different novels actually, which seems to indicate spammers really enjoy her work!
I find this weird mix of sources quite interesting...an analysis of these sources might produce intriguing results, even on a visual level, perhaps through some form of colour coding?
