Show Me the Place, 59


“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)

59: Red Cloud, Neb.; July 21, 2005

A trip to Willa Cather-land—
Another place now Joyced and Daned.

We drove around the little town
Where she grew up. And up and down

The country roads—through fields of corn—
To empty farms, which Time has worn

Away. The world that Cather wrote
About—her words, her ferryboat

Toward the land of truth and art—
The two cannot be kept apart!
