Слушать(AI)Fleming Helphenstine
At first I thought there was a
Persuasion in his face; but the free
That filled it when he stopped and cried, "Hollo!"Shone joyously, and so I let it shine.
He said his name was Fleming Helphenstine,
But be that as it may;—I only
He talked of this and that and So-and-So,
And laughed and chaffed like any friend of mine.
But soon, with a queer, quick frown, he looked at me,
And I looked hard at him; and there we
In a strained way that made us cringe and wince:
Then, with a wordless clogged
That sounded half confused and half amazed,
He dodged,—and I have never seen him since.

Calvary
Friendless and faint, with martyred steps and slow, Faint for the flesh, but for the spirit free, Stung by the mob that came to see the show, The Master toiled along to Calvary;
