Explore "The Lost Game" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Came the big children to the little ones, / And unto them full pleasantly did say, / "Lo! we have spread for you a merry game, / And ye shall all be winners at the same. / Come now and play!"
_Great is the game they enter in,- / Rouge et Noir on a giant scale,- / Red with blood and black with sin, / Where many must lose and few may win, / And the players never fail! _
