A VISION FULFILLED

sculptor stood alone one day And held in his hands a mass of clay That had been given him to mould Into Symbol-and to enfold Therein, living spark To kindle pathway from the dark True--t had been used before Not virgin clay? An no - twas more Time after time 1t had been claimed Built up, torn down. and all but maimed, Until at last in blind despair, It was given for repair So - alone, he weighed it and got the feel In his warming hands until something real Took form to his far-seeng eyes clear and definite enterprse
 He went to work. His touch was delft his vision clear, And when the multitude came to peer At the embryo form of success and cheer There were those who couldn't tor wouldn't see His version Of what it was to be They scoffed and said "Youll cut away Until you haven't any more clay And you'll scrape the very soles of our shoes To build up what you've made us ose!' He smiled in answer and went ahead Sustained by the faith Of the few who said We believe in you. and bye and bye The others will see with you, eye 10 eye"
