We are striving to forge our union with purpose. To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man, and so we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all.
The lens focuses on the scenery, sunlight illuminates the interior as gentle breezes filter through it, and our gaze is guided to the mountains far away.
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs:
How exquisite that gaze of yours would be if you were being whipped to death, in the last agony.
