Restores the world-wide mart.

By one calf near three centuries dead;

And lost a hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well established precedent.”

A calf walked home as good calves should;

A crooked trail as all calves do.

And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.”
Sam Walter Foss Quotes Source: The Calf-Path
