<h2> <i>Edwin Markham</i> </h2>
<p class="quote">
(who, though he had to lay a cornerstone, unveil a bust of somebody,

of five young poets before catching the three-ten for Staten Island,
offered his reaction in a benevolent and unhurried manner.)</p>

<p class="i2"> Poets to men a curious sight afford; </p>
<p class="i2"> Still they will sing, though all around are bored; </p>
<p class="i2"> But this wise grackle does a kinder thing; </p>
<p class="i2"> Silent he's bored, while all around him sing! </p>
