SEWING CREATES SWELL

Today's random sentence is from page 32 of Introducing Bookbinding by Ivor Robinson.
(coincidentally, Ivor was a friend and a brilliant designer-bookbinder.)

SEWING CREATES SWELL 

So that's how it was done!
God with thread and needle
making kingdom come.


The mountains with their folds
the fish the fowl the lemming
the carbon and the gold
all stitch and baste and hemming. 


It may be hard to see
but gee, isn't it fine
that they and you and me
are just a stitch in time?
