SKYSCRAPERS The Titans have arisen and arc calling anew; Their proud faces challenge the Gods in the liluc. High on Olympus, the Gods resist their tali. The Titans arc rallying to the battle call. Higher and higher, the granite walls rise. I he cohorts of stone and steel press to the skies. And grim old Saturn with a rough iron load. Stands with his head in the gods' alxidc. l or the Titans have arisen and are lighting again W ith marble faces lifting in the Iwating rain. Sara Chappell
