You and Me arrived—America arrived, and making this year,

All swings around us—there is as much darkness as light,

The very sun swings itself and its system of planets around us,

Its sun, and its again, all swing around us.

I adopt each theory, myth, god, and demi-god,

I see that the old accounts, bibles, genealogies, are true, without exception,

I assert that all past days were what they should have been,
