text_original: Let the bards of the East and the South be dumb— For out of the West shall the Poets come. They shall come with souls as great As the cradle where they were rocked; They shall come with brows that are touched with fire Like the gods with whom they have walked; They shall come from the West in royal state, The Singers and Thinkers for whom we wait.
