MODERN TERMINI - ZaunköniG - 27.12.2010 MODERN TERMINI. Again we see the obstructive rites decreed — This time by modern schools, a wrangUng lot ; — Each hopes his little god shall do the deed, The glorious deed—which Terminus did not ! The master lectures, and the pupils quote, And noise abroad each fire-new theory. Or stale old sophism. How they rave and dote ! And plant their idols where their Lord should be ! Soon may we say, ' the heathen dream is past ! The worship of these human blocks of stone. These heirs of Terminus, is failing fast ! By history and reason overthrown ; On their hard fronts the sunrise strikes in vain, No Memnon-chords have they in all their sorry grain ! |
