The Prettiest Things


The prettiest things there are must lie
Unused, UNDECIDED utterly.
AS where the lorries drop bright oil
Weed-shaped, to turn our highways
soil
AS lovely as the ocean-bed,
Blue branching grycn, gold branching
red.
And all the little friendly words
In secret nests of mice and birds.
And window missal-scrolls of frost
Unnumbere1 times achieved and lost.
And songs that fill the blackbirds
head
In March, that August finds unsaid.
And tales we dreamt at five years old
That by no later skill are told.
While towns and faces dull as clay
Are praised and copied every day.

the admission from Evans at State S

Evans home. Finger prints on the
gun were too blurred for comparisons.
Evans. Sheriff Johnson said, stead
fastly denied that he killed Joyner,
although he admitted the Hollister
taxi driver was slain in his front yard.
This information. together with
other. evidence, Sheriff Johnson said,

he was killed when he refused to
carry his employers back to Hollister
with a load Of whisky. He also de-
clared he thought another negro not
