Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And the gulled millions stare and fling their wages
Where they are bidden, helpless and emasculate.
And the unilluminate,

Of God meanwhile, and in God's hand has weighed
Your squeamish and emasculate crusade
Against the grim dominion of his art.
