Idleness of summer grass with its frail kites of furious butterflies brings nice imagery and summer grass sways to the scythe's design. The lesson is the same. The maid removes both prodigies from their interest in science. There is no need to fear. Every positive perspective gives learning. Excellently penned poem is shared...10

And everywhere the frocks of summer torn, The long look back to see where choice is born, A beautiful poem co nicely crafted.

'The mind swings inward on itself in fear Swayed towards nausea from each normal sign. Heredity of cruelty everywhere, And everywhere the frocks of summer torn, The long look back to see where choice is born, As summer grass sways to the scythe's design. ' is very touching. Not a lazy sunday of course and with so many twists and turns. Beautiful poem.
