“They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.”

“Yes, I know.
Death sits with his key in my lock.
Not one day is taken for granted.

Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying.”
