a mystery ~~ 30 ~~
In the swamp stands a wall of stone. Amid the maple sapling’s crush it stands, one wall from rough field stone made, with a window and a door, no more. Who built it and why is lost to memory, lost to memory even in this young land. With what hopes he built, I cannot say’ What was his end, I do not know’ All I know, all I can say is what I saw: A stone wall stands in the swamp in the middle of nowhere
