DEEP-DOWN THINGS

Sam Walter Foss, in “Songs of the Average Man,” is the author of this assuring verse:

The deep-down things are strong and great,

Firm-fixt, unchangeable as fate,

Inevitable, inviolate,

The deep-down things.

The deep-down things! All winds that blow,

All seething tides that foam and flow

May smite but can not overflow

The deep-down things.
