Sketch

By Carl Sandburg


The shadows of the ships
Rock on the crest
In the low blue luster
Of the tardy and the soft in rolling tide.

A long brown bar at the dip of the sky
Puts an arm of sand in the span of salt.

The lucid and endless wrinkles
Draw in lapse and withdraw.
Wavelets crumble and white spent bubbles
Wash on the floor of the beach.

Rocking on the crest
In the low blue luster
Are the shadows of the ships.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince
There are, for example, the Spartans and the
Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes,
establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost
them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage,
and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose
them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans
held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did
mot succeed. So to hold it hrey were compelled to
dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there
s no safe way to retain them otherwise than by
uining them. And he who becomes master of a city
ccustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may
xpect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has

rivileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor
enefits will ever cause it to forget And whatever you
ay do or provide against they never forget that

freedom and someday rebel against a conqueror
