Quote by Robert Frost

“The Telephone When I was just as far as I could walk From here today There was an hour All still When leaning with my head against a flower I heard you talk. Don't say I didn't for I heard you say You spoke from that flower on the window sill- Do you remember what it was you said ' 'First tell me what it was you thought you heard.' 'Having found the flower and driven a bee away I leaned my head And holding by the stalk I listened and I thought I caught the word What was it Did you call me by my name Or did you say Someone said "Come" I heard it as I bowed.' 'I may have thought as much but not aloud.' Well so I came.”

Estavam aprisionados numa pobreza mais digna do que a da cidade, mas miséria invencível, de todo modo. As meninas tornavam-se mães antes que o corpo conseguisse amadurecer, e os meninos trabalhavam a terra como os pais e os avós, a menos que pudessem fazer o serviço militar, que lhes possibilitava escapar durante alguns anos.”
