Theirs is the Kingdom

Kenneth Fearing (1902-1961), "Conclusion," in his Selected Poems, ed. Robert Polito (New York: The Library of America, 2004 = American Poets Project, 8), pp. 30-31 (at 30):
In the flaring parks, in the speakeasies, in the hushed
        academies, your murmur will applaud the
        wisdom of a thousand quacks. For theirs is the
        kingdom.
