The Child Babbles, Rhythmically
Once off the main road there was no traffic; any
modern introduction which has scarcely reached
a sheepdog came and wagged its tail, followed by
the wood, with a new thicket of fir and pine on one
smallest intention of going to university. I hate studying
apprenticeship, and got a job on the electrical plant at
the town along the narrow road by the river that was
quite enough to satisfy an archangel, and I'm sure I feel
as silent and withdrawn as this with anyone else, but
listening to the wind blowing over the hoarse, dark sea
had a trademark laugh—loud and honking, it easily rose above.
