History [from Divine revolt]

      I hate my time.
                          SAINT-EXUPRY
      Upright in nostalgia's vice,
      The newscast knocked me flat; I am
5     Hammered from
      A stiff expectancy that the past,
      Under augers and a strong carpenter's hands,
      Could endure
      Into significance like a three-legged stool.
