Diane,
    I can't tell you how happy I am to get this information.  It was my
brother-in-law that wanted to know.  Yesterday I went to the chapel at my
father-in-law's retirement residence and looked again at the Desiderata
plaque and it did say "dated 1692".  Someone else sent the information on
the real author but I had a a big disbelief about it.   Now I can see the
truth of it and quit thinking about it. (sigh)
