Over the chained bay waters Liberty—

All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.”

They throw a forest down less cut than broken.
They plant dead trees for living, and the dead
They string together with a living thread.”
