Now, the American Golden Age: While they were floundering, I was pondering... No more wandering through the dark tunnels of grim determination... For no! It is time to grow! In a thousand-folded folds! For which we need an infinite fuel! (Perpetual motion) ---Nathan Coppedge

Thine ears have drunk the woodland strains. A brilliant piece of art. Thanks for sharing it here.

Writing worthy of the greatness of the Age of Hellenism.

Who can forget the contribution of ancient Greece and its great thinkers towards understanding of this world and towards motivating future generations to achieve scientific and intellectual excellence. But it is also true that over the past two millennia, it lost most of its sheen and glory. Nicely portrayed. Thank you, Sir. The forms they hewed from living stone Survive the waste of years, alone, And Greece, decayed, dethroned, doth see Her youth renewed in such as thee:

Once Great - For ever Great! Great Ellada!

In its shade! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The forms they hewed from living stone Survive the waste of years, alone, And, scattered with their ashes, show What greatness perished long ago. Nice lines... Thanks for sharing...
