The Houses
1898 -- A Song of the Dominions

'Twixt my house and thy house the pathway is broad,
In thy house or my house is half the world's hoard;
By my house and thy house hangs all the world's fate,
On thy house and my house lies half the world's hate.

For my house and thy house no help shall we find
Save thy house and my house -- kin cleaving to kind;
If my house be taken, thine tumbleth anon.
If thy house be forfeit, mine followeth soon.

'Twixt my house and thy house what talk can there be
Of headship or lordship, or service or fee?
Since my house to thy house no greater can send
Than thy house to my house -- friend comforting friend;

And thy house to my house no meaner can bring
Than my house to thy house -- King counselling King.

~Rudyard Kipling

What a beautiful photo! And what a great poem to go with it! I've never been to San Francisco (it's not on Mr.B's list of favorite places to visit).

However, seeing this picture inspired me to google for more like it, and if I ever do go to San Francisco, I'm pretty sure I'll leave my heart.

There are two things in life for which
we are never truly prepared: twins.
