In a rich and fruitful land,

Fed with cold and usurous hand?”

Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

Those holy Joes.
And the fish, the fish—
Christ! they are panes of ice.”
