Under the virtues
A fife and drum corps, four hundred at dinner, and a floor finished by feet.
A piece of the wall
Truman’s ring, the floor of the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court.
The gavel
A borrowed collar, the gavel that laid the Capitol’s cornerstone, and the first English lodge here in two centuries.
We the People
A seven o’clock coach for a ten minute walk, and a founding document nobody can read.
One big loop
All of Washington in one loop, a starling with opinions, and one of my countries in granite.
