It will crown the Museum: the “Progress of Life,”

A four-part mural-cum-cyclorama, unfurled

Under the dome of the Grand Rotunda, each

Quadrant twenty feet long by twelve high,

A thousand square feet of life in all. Mural One,

The “Conquest of Terra,” begins on bare Devonian

Shores, plants without branches or seeds, awaiting the world-

Changing invention of a light transducer—the leaf—

Then vast, vascular trees, an endless food supply …

And the land rush is on, as lobe-fins hit the beach.
