Explore "Sand of the Desert in an Hour-Glass" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A handful of red sand, from the hot clime / Of Arab deserts brought, / Within this glass becomes the spy of Time, / The minister of Thought.
How many weary centuries has it been / About those deserts blown! / How many strange vicissitudes has seen, / How many histories known!
