One of my poems was inspired by a portion of a Robert Frost poem, and I forgot to remove the 4 lines of the poem before I approved my book. It was on there as a quote with him attributed, but what scares me is that I did not have permission to use it. I did not intend to leave it on there. I realized I had after the fact, and have made it unavailable, made the changes but haven't made it available again yet and probably won't after this. I am terrified of copyright infringement and the penalties of that. There is just so much technology out there now that the copyright owner could have some bot or something that constantly scans the internet for stuff and could find my book for sale in the interim still until it gets pulled down. I'm freaking out over this. I did at least upload the correction, so if it does by chance get ordered the printed copy would be the corrected one, but the "look inside" preview still shows the un-corrected copy. I don't know how long it takes for that to get fixed. I have already emailed create space letting them know what happened and that I corrected it and that I pulled it, and asking them to please make it unavailable as fast as possible, please somebody stop my brain from this spiral it's in, I've done everything I can do at this point to fix my mistake but I'm still terrified. Any advice for stopping my freak out spiral??

An attributed quote of four lines is perfectly legitimate. You have nothing to worry about.
