Design<\/h2>\n

by Robert Frost<\/em><\/p>\n

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
\nOn a white heal-all, holding up a moth
\nLike a white piece of rigid satin cloth?
\nAssorted characters of death and blight
\nMixed ready to begin the morning right,
\nLike the ingredients of a witches’ broth?
\nA snow-drop spider, a flower like froth,
\nAnd dead wings carried like a paper kite.<\/p>\n

What had that flower to do with being white,
\nThe wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
\nWhat brought the kindred spider to that height,
\nThen steered the white moth thither in the night?
\nWhat but design of darkness to appal??
\nIf design govern in a thing so small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
