WORLD-MAPS
To Stephen Graham
I would draw rich maps of the whole worldAnd every classic nation of the past—
The spread of each religion, age by age,
The plot of each soul-empire and the cast:
The states that rose and fell after Christ's death,
The nations that turned flowers in Buddha's breath,
The states Prophet Mohammed made too brave,
The states Osiris wakened from the grave.
