I had my eyes about me, however, and soon found out which of them was Tom O'Conor.
"The little wide-mouthed heads upon the spout, Had cunning eyes to see..." "...the blind walls Were full of chinks and holes; and, overhead, Fantastic gables stared." She had her low churls, her Peeping Toms, "compact of thankless earth," who bored moral auger-holes in fear, and spied.
The State is simply made out of common dirt called Tom, Dick and Harry, whom a lot of other plain Toms, Dicks and Harrys set up in power.
