Voluptas

To chase a never-reached mirage

Across the hot, white sand,

And choke and die, while gazing on

Its green and watered strand.

The Word of an Engineer

“She’s built of steel

From deck to keel,

And bolted strong and tight;

In scorn she’ll sail

The fiercest gale,

And pierce the darkest night.

“The builder’s art

Has proved each part

Throughout her breadth and length;

Deep in the hulk,

Of her mighty bulk,

Ten thousand Titans’ strength.”
