Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Build me a Temple of Learning, said she,
Build me a Temple of stone —
Build for all ages: assuredly,
Build for a man's Reason a throne;
For Freedom and Truth shall prosper
Where Knowledge and Science are known!
...From pillar, rotunda, arcade,
From lecture-room, statue, and fane,
And landscape, and scholarly shade,
And comrades saluted again,
And professor, and classmate and friend,
And library, tome upon tome —
The beams of old memories lend
New light as they welcome us home:
O, Mother! Fair Mother! refresh us,
In the scope of thy bounteous dome!
Daniel Bedinger Lucas
See? The ineffable SPirit of Mom has been with us down the ages....
