    See, the Serpent is taken from its hole,The secrets of Egypt's kings are bared.See, the residence is fearful from want.Men stir up strife unopposed.See, the land is tied up in gangs,The coward is emboldened to seize his goods.See, the Serpent the dead.He who could not make a coffin owns a tomb.See, those who owned tombs are cast on high ground,He who could not make a grave owns a treasury.See now, the transformations of people,He who did not build a hut is an owner of coffers.

    The land belongs to the future, Carl; that's the way it seems to me. How many of the names on the county clerk's plat will be there in fifty years? I might as well try to will the sunset over there to my brother's children. We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it--for a little while.
