“Each gives to each, and like the star
Gets back its gift in tenfold pay.”

The Building of the City Beautiful (1905), Ch. V : How Beautiful!, p. 48.
Context: p>Each gives to each, and like the star
Gets back its gift in tenfold pay.To get and give and give amain
The rivers run and oceans roll.
O generous and high-born rain
When reigning as a splendid whole!
That man who lives for self alone
Lives for the meanest mortal known.</p
