In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””

Open it and see whether coiled on the bed
Or cringing by the wall, a savage beast

Like a bearded spider on a sunlit floor
Will snarl—and man can never be alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
