Today's Stichomancy for Al Pacino

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. Guest:

To your heart's supremest sorrow that you've made the world unkind.

THE STATES

There is no star within the flag That's brighter than its brothers, And when of Michigan I brag, I'm boasting of the others. Just which is which no man can say -- One star for every state Gleams brightly on our flag to-day, And every one is great.

A Heap O' Livin'
