I am but a small-winged bird:

But I will conquer the big world

As the bee-martin beats the crow,

By attacking it always from Above.

Ah how I desire this matter!

I am sure God would give it to me if He could.

I am sure that I would give it to Him if I could.

(But perhaps He knows it is not good for you.)

I know that He could make it good for me.

The United States in two hundred years has made Emerson out of a witch-burner.
