Hang upon his penthouse lid;

Weary sev’n-nights, nine times nine,

Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tossed.”

In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

In any game the nations want to play.
A golden age of poetry and power
Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour.”
