Analysis of The Grand Design

Ryan Hicks 1991 (AL)



The Seer sees.
The Seeker seeks.

The Thinker thinks.
The Speaker speaks.

The Maker makes,
The Breaker breaks.

The Giver gives,
The Taker takes.

The Hider hides,
The Finder finds.

The Miner mines,
The Minder minds.

The Seeker's Mind,
The Grand Design.
