[Ger., Was uns alle bandigt, das Gemeine.] - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Taschenbuch fur Damen auf das Jahr Our Union is river, lake, ocean, and sky: Man breaks not the medal, when God cuts the die! Though darkened with sulphur, though cloven with steel, The blue arch will brighten, the waters will heal! - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Brother Jonathan's Lament for Sister Caroline There with commutual zeal we both had strove In acts of dear benevolence and love; Brothers in peace, not rivals in command. - Homer ("Smyrns of Chios"), The Odyssey (bk.
