I make or mar. My daring hand
Explores the entrails of the land,
And finds, beneath a greasy hat,
An Austral Homer at Cow Flat.

Additional quotes by Victor Daley

I do not crave the boon Of Immortality;
I do not want the moon, Nor yet the rainbow's key.I do not yearn for wings, Or fins to swim the sea;
I merely want the things That are not good for me.

I do not care for men To point with pride at me;
A model citizen I do not wish to be.

Must we all in grovel wallow Like to bisons in a bog —
Must we call him an Apollo If he is not quite a hog?

I make or mar. My daring hand Explores the entrails of the land, And finds, beneath a greasy hat, An Austral Homer at Cow Flat. - Victor Daley
