They gathered around and told him not to do it,
They formed a committee and tried to take control,
They cancelled his building permit and they stole
His plans. I sometimes wonder he got through it.
He told them wrath was coming, they would rue it,
He begged them to believe the tides would roll,
He offered them passage to his destined goal,
A new world. They were finished and he knew it.
All to no end.
And then the rain began.
A spatter at first that barely wet the soil,
Then showers, quick rivulets lacing the town,
Then deluge universal. The old man
Arthritic from his years of scorn and toil
Leaned from the admiral's walk and watched them drown.
(1963)

ReplyDeleteI appreciate you providing this fantastic blog. A technique for figuring out clicks per second is the CPS Test. CPS just keeps track of how many clicks are made each second. Simply said, it means that there are more clicks per second the higher the score. Read this article on the click speed test for more information.
