Explore "Two Statesmen" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In that fair city by the inland sea, / Where Blaine unhived his Presidential bee, / Frank Pixley's meeting with George Gorham sing, / Celestial muse, and what events did spring / From the encounter of those mighty sons / Of thunder, and of slaughter, and of guns.
Great Gorham first, his yearning tooth to sate / And give him stomach for the day's debate, / Entering a restaurant, with eager mien, / Demands an ounce of bacon and a bean.
