Breast cataracts of seething, living action,

Tell of harnessing of power,

Of screech and scream,

Of whirr of wheels;

Of lightning’s use and speed;

Of clank and bang and whisp and twirl of rasp and plane and drill on rock and wood and metal.

For therein lies a ripe, rich, unwrit story;

And place the credit where the credit’s due.

Use freely, and without fear thy caustic pen,

Ruffle, ruthlessly pursue, dog and undo
