UNITY.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Space is ample, east and west, But two cannot go abreast, Cannot travel in it two: Yonder masterful cuckoo

Crowds every egg out of the nest, Quick or dead, except its own; A spell is laid on sod and stone, Night and day were tampered with,

Every quality and pith Surcharged and sultry with a power That works its will on age and hour.
