More than in a mound or marble, in the living live the dead.

excerpt from The New World
by Witter Bynner
O doubters of democracy,
Undo your mean contemptuous art!—
More than in all that poetry has said,
More than in a mound or marble, in the living live the dead.
5 The past has done its reproductive part.
Hear now the cry of the beauty's present needs,
Of comrades leveling a thousand creeds,
Finding futility
In conflict, selfishness, hardness of heart!
10 For love has many poets who can see
Ascending in the sky
Above the shadowy passes
The everlasting hills: humanity.
