Purandara Dasa
Every monumental work of the State is measured by cubits. Every cubit is measured by the length of the Aspect-Emperor's arm. And the Aspect-Emperor's arm, they say, stands beyond measure. But I say the Aspect-Emperor's arm is measured by the length of a cubit, and that all cubits are measured by the works of the State. Not even the All stands beyond measure, for it is more than what lies within it, and "more” is a kind of measure. Even the God has His cubits.
