Explore "Killing Time" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The air was full of shouts and cries, / Of shrill "Ha-ha's," and "Ho's," and "Hi's," / And every kind of whistle, / And the sky was dark with flying things -- / Golf-sticks, balls, engagement-rings, / Novels, rackets, and billiard-cues, / Cameras, fishing-rods, and shoes, / And every sort of missile.
The ground was black with a seething mass / Of people of every kind and class -- / Matrons, men, and misses, / Ladies and gentlemen, old and new, / Lads and lasses, and children too, / Elderly men with elderly wives -- / Hustling and bustling for their lives.
