Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
That flames upon your forehead with a glow
That blinds you to the way that you must go.”
