QOTD - Carl Sandburg

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes. I tell you yesterday is a wind gone down, a sun dropped in the west. - Carl Sandburg, Prairie

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes.
I tell you yesterday is a wind gone down,
a sun dropped in the west.

- "Prairie" from Cornhuskers by Carl Sandburg (1918)
