unity.

    • Space is ample, east and west,
    • But two cannot go abreast,
    • Cannot travel in it two:
    • Yonder masterful cuckoo
    • Crowds every egg out of the nest,
    • Quick or dead, except its own;
    • A spell is laid on sod and stone,
    • Night and Day were tampered with,
    • Every quality and pith
    • Surcharged and sultry with a power
    • That works its will on age and hour.
