His speech is dazzling in expression and meaningful to us
His striking words of useful diction to us
By linguistic convention; all speech beneath it is mere words.
All other words compared to his are barren and dumb

He carries things through with his pens, without any toil,
He marches on with his pens without erecting a stand
And the sword cannot do what the pen does.
And the sword is incapable of what the pen can accomplish
