ALT1: ... that Mihai Eminescu's poem "Out of All the Masts" had three drafts, of which the definitive one removed all mention of the poetic self? Source: Gheorghe Suciu, "Lupta cu 'împrejurările'", in Luceafărul, Vol. XXI, Issue 24, June 1978, p. 7: poezia postumă Dintre sute de catarge [...] se află în trei manuscrise, toate din anul 1880. În primele două redactarea ține de confesiune, poetul vorbind la persoana intîi. [...] Cu totul altă adresă avem în varianta pe care-o cunoaștem sub titlul Dintre sute de catarge (după primul vers, din ms. 2260 ft 273— 273v.). Aici poetul expurghează orice referire la propria persoană, adresîndu-se prin ton gnomic și imparţialitate absolută.

In the first two of these, the draft is of a confessional kind, with the poet addressing us in the first person. [...] An entirely different address is found in the variant we now know as 'Out of All the Masts' (titled after its first line, from Manuscript 2260 ft 273— 273v.). Here the poet expurgates any reference to his own person, addressing himself with a gnomic tone and with an absolute impartiality"
