As I sit here, and oftentimes, I wish I could be monarch of a desert land I could devote and dedicate forever To the truths we keep coming back and back to. So desert it would have to be, so walled By mountain ranges half in summer snow, No one would covet it or think it worth The pains of conquering to force change on. Scattered oases where men dwelt, but mostly Sand dunes held loosely in tamarisk Blown over and over themselves in idleness. Sand grains should sugar in the natal dew The babe born to the desert, the sand storm Retard mid-waste my cowering caravans— “There are bees in this wall.” He struck the clapboards, Fierce heads looked out; small bodies pivoted. We rose to go. Sunset blazed on the windows. -- Robert Frost, the Black Cottage #### 298fa605138c1a00dab95643130ae0edab369b4d perl-5.24.0.tar.bz2 35770ea5cf49a1082852c2300ccc3cbbc58b70fd perl-5.24.0.tar.gz 9d5424ac2debe979d1f7255fe0c818aff0b41b4c perl-5.24.0.tar.xz
