spirit OF incredulous inquiry which
doubts everything In u modern spirit,
which destroys all likeness Of heroes
which has been the inspiration OF

We are told VIM. Tell never existed,
that Washington had no Ratchet, and
that Pocahontes never saved the life
Of Il settler. II Ii this spirit that would
destroy our Columbus. Columbus was
