Caption on facing page:
Here in the womb of the world -- here on the tie-ribs of earth
Words, and the words of men, flicker and flutter and beat --
Warning, sorrow and gain, salutation and mirth --
For a Power troubles the Still that has neither voice nor feet.
Kipling, Rudyard. The Song of the English. London: Hodder and Stoughton, nd [1909].
