What source did you find it from? Citations typically include the first word of the source or the author's last name.

Usually, MLA citations are done like this:

"Short, three line or less quote text" (Source Pg#).

Here's some more research paper citation info:

Oh, forgot about that one. You tend to do things by hand when you've grown accustomed to manual citation. It's just easier than having to input all of the info into a citation parser, then copy it back into your paper and adjusting the formatting.

Is it from one of his poems?
