They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It's the true law of men
Kept intact despite

despite danger of death
It's the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
A law old and new

To reason's heights.

Hard upon ether came the origins
Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in air
Midway between the earth and
mightiest
ether,--
For neither took them, since they weighed too little
To sink and settle, but too much to glide
Along the upmost shores; and yet they are
In such a wise midway between the twain
As ever to whirl their living bodies round,
And ever to dure as parts of the wide Whole;
In the same fashion as certain members may
In us remain at rest, whilst others move.
