• This is a marvel of the universe:
  To fling a thought across a stretch of sky--
  Some weighty message, or a yearning cry,
  It matters not; the elements rehearse
  Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse
  The spacious heav'ns like homing birds that fly
  Unswervingly, until, upreached on high,
  A quickened hand plucks off the message terse.
