    Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.

    The guided missiles,
    The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
    The evasive sheep, play grandmother’s-steps behind them,
    Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
