Why, this yer revolution is played out, old man; and Generalissimo Leonidas Perkins is locked up in the Presidio." The revolution was, indeed, ended.
Thou art competent to cover with a single footstep of thine all the three worlds. Thou art he that is adorned with the marks of the mendicant order. Thou art he that is without such marks. Thou art he that transcends the usages of the mendicant order. Thou art he that assures all creatures from every sort of fear. Thou art he that is called the celestial generalissimo.
