He who cannot draw upon three thousand years
Is living from hand to mouth
If there is wisdom

Let's hope to find it here

Come to know

Take a look and come to know


All thoughts advance
Era to era
And so if

You wish to understand
Modern process
Look behind and witness

Conception and progress

But if only
We respect

The statuesque preceding

Let's be tomorrow's

Heritage
The giants of advancing thought
Let us respect

The work of
The statuesque preceding
