Have liberty not as the air within a grave
Or down a well. Breathe freedom, oh, my native,
In the space of horizons that neither love nor hate.”

This map becomes their window and these windows
That open on their lives like crouching tombs
Break, O break open,”

Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.”
