Carl Sandburg - The Has-BeenCarl Sandburg - The Has-Been
Work rating: Medium


A stone face higher than six horses stood five thousand     years gazing at the world seeming to clutch a secret. A boy passes and throws a niggerhead that chips off the     end of the nose from the stone face; he lets fly a     mud ball that spatters the right eye and cheek of the     old looker-on. The boy laughs and goes whistling "ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee."     The stone face stands silent, seeming to clutch a     secret.
