yours with great admiration , hazel grace lancaster ( age 16 ) after i sent it , i called augustus back , and we stayed up late talking about an imperial affliction , and i read him the emily dickinson poem that van houten had used for the title , and he said i had a good voice for reading and did n't pause too long for the line breaks , and then he told me that the sixth price of dawn book , the blood approves , begins with a quote from a poem .
