A wonder of the world it is
Equal to 6000-plus, war ships
Six pyramids by the Gaza strip.
With all its tunnels, and locks,
Dams, lakes, fifty-one miles of it;
Buildings, mess halls, bridges— Structures and more structures;
Spillways and much cartage;
Bulldozers, trains—ten-years of it,
Building:
Excavations, constructions—:
Like digging a big ditch, through
Mountains, valleys, lakes—all
All I say, all immense, immense
With tons of cement and steel,
Between silt and mud; and two
Oceans between: obstacles
One after another—yellow fever. The Suez Canal is but a glimpse
Of this immense task, in Panama;
Unequal in every way, to its grandeur.
