shaded



one prided himself upon the hearty
abundance
rather than severity taking the burden
off the backs

of
the bridge
itself

were thickly shaded by
overhanging trees which cast a gloom
about
it even in

her dress which was a brokendown
plowhorse that had outlived almost everything
but its

viciousness
