In portrait after portrait, the great men pose,
One hand hidden inside their uniforms,
Masters of the veils,touching their own bosom
-The sign of Moses,commanded by God-
Grasping occult powers in the unseen fist
To show that what we are is what we do.
Five fingers played the thief of souls:
So the Corsican consulted his Book of Fate;
Washington stood proudly on the square;
Mozart knocked three times upon the door.
