support till they could find some other channel for their industry.

For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a

Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
