would his name have gone down in

If Caesar had stood on the banks of

said, from the outset of eternity and
hasn't overtakep it yet What chance

the way through. A sprung rail
wrecks the limited, worm holes rot

That tells me you have been to the
cemetery, that you have somebody
sleeping beneath the emeralds of June,

funeral in your streets some day, and
there will be another coffin carried
out of your house, and there will be
another name on the plate and on the
sepulchre. And some of you would
