Englishman whose mother became steam

I am an Englishman, born in London, of soft iron, and high pressure. My father was wrought into horse-power, and my mother into steam. From the very first, I was intended to be permanent. I was raised in a permanent steel. I was made permanent in a permanent horse-power. I was carried permanent in a permanent way, to a permanent steel-magnet, of high permanent power. From that time forward, I became permanent myself, and was carried on, permanent, to permanent iron, and high permanent pressure. I am now permanent in sixty-horse power, and shall be permanent to the last.
