Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh?

And lo, three factory hands begrimed with soot,
Aflame with the red splendour, marvelling stand,

Such was the mansion where the great man dwelt.

and moved into the house
it was smaller than an elephant
but larger than a mouse
The Two Armies
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
Once over the ocean in distant lands,
In an age long past, were two hostile bands-
Two armies of men, both brave, both strong,
And their hearts beat high as they marched along
To fight the battle of right and wrong.

Give me thy soul, Juliet, give me thy soul!

I sigh not over vanished years,
But watch the years that hasten by.
