    Shall reap no gain where former rule hath taught still peace to
    grow.

    Our realm it brooks no stranger’s force, let them elsewhere resort.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    And a wide realm of wild reality.
    And dreams in their development have breath,
    And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
