Design Robert Frost (1874-1963) I found a dimpled spider, fat and white, On a white heal-all, holding up a moth Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth -- Assorted characters of death and blight Mixed ready to begin the morning right, Like the ingredients of a witches' broth -- A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth, And dead wings carried like a paper kite. What had that flower to do with being white, The wayside blue and innocent heal-all? What brought the kindred spider to that height, Then steered the white moth thither in the night? What but design of darkness to appall?-- If design govern in a thing so small. heal-all: a wildflower, usually blue or violet but ocassionally white, found blooming along roadsides in the summer. It was once supposed to have healing qualities, hence its name. (from _Perrine's Sound and Sense_) --
