Слушать(AI)How Annandale Went Out
“They called it Annandale—and I was there To flourish, to find words, and to attend: Liar, physician, hypocrite, and friend, I watched him; and the sight was not so fair As one or two that I have seen elsewhere:

Remembering the worst you know of me. Now view yourself as I was, on the spot— With a slight kind of engine.
Do you see? Like this … You wouldn’t hang me?

Edwin Arlington Robinson
