• Fun Facts

  If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

  • Squatter's Children (Elizabeth Bishop)
    
    On the unbreathing sides of hills
    they play, a specklike girl and boy,
    alone, but near a specklike house.
    The Sun's suspended eye
    blinks casually, and then they wade
    gigantic waves of light and shade.
    A dancing yellow spot, a pup,
    attends them. Clouds are piling up;
    
    a storm piles up behind the house.
    The children play at digging holes.
    The ground is hard; they try to use
    one of their father's tools,
    a mattock with a broken haft
    the two of them can scarcely lift.
    It drops and clangs. Their laughter spreads
    effulgence in the thunderheads,
    
    Weak flashes of inquiry
    direct as is the puppy's bark.
    But to their little, soluble,
    unwarrantable ark,
    apparently the rain's reply
    consists of echolalia,
    and Mother's voice, ugly as sin,
    keeps calling to them to come in.
    
    Children, the threshold of the storm
    has slid beneath your muddy shoes;
    wet and beguiled, you stand among
    the mansions you may choose
    out of a bigger house than yours,
    whose lawfulness endures.
    It's soggy documents retain
    your rights in rooms of falling rain.
