    To the highest leadership among women it is given to hold steadily in one hand the sacred vessels that hold the ancient sanctities of life, and in the other a flaming torch to light the way for oncoming generations.

    You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,
    Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.

    For a place to lay your family down.
