"From whence shall we expect the approach of danger?

Shall some transatlantic giant step the earth and crush us at a blow?

Never! All the armies of Europe and Asia could not, by force

Take a drink from the Ohio River

Or set a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years

If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher

As a nation of free men, we will live forever, or die by suicide"

Someone knows that the [B]ird i[S] the [W]ord.

This was left exactly where they’d know I’d be today.
