Every body is an architect –
(Longfellow) – & not only so, but
in the world of things material.

No civilized man ever lived, who would

Every one would originate something.
Always been so. Tower of Babel – Pyr-
-amids – Ancient cities – walls – monuments –
minarets – temples – towers all evince
this native propensity. Ships – Steamers,
Enginery – machinery – mechanics ~

Has other forms also – Law, literature,
Science, Politics, Government – here is

See its propulsion in children – in sleds,
fences, wagons, horses, houses & the like.
