THE CINDER BUGGY

A pot-metal bodyon two little wheels,absurdly,bow-leggedlywalking away to the dumpwith the slag, thepurgings of iron, thevillainous drool of the furnace—that is a cinder buggy.It is also a signthat what man refinesbeyondGod’s contentwith things as he left themwill very soon perishfor want of the drossfrom which it is parted.Why hath each thing its cinder?—even the sweetest desire?

A pot-metal body

on two little wheels,

absurdly,

bow-leggedly

walking away to the dump

with the slag, the

purgings of iron, the

villainous drool of the furnace—

that is a cinder buggy.

It is also a signthat what man refinesbeyondGod’s contentwith things as he left themwill very soon perishfor want of the drossfrom which it is parted.Why hath each thing its cinder?—even the sweetest desire?

It is also a sign

that what man refines

beyond

God’s content

with things as he left them

will very soon perish

for want of the dross

from which it is parted.

Why hath each thing its cinder?—

even the sweetest desire?
