Explore "Technology" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Twas a serious person with locks of gray / And a figure like a crescent; / His gravity, clearly, had come to stay, / But his smile was evanescent.
He stood and conversed with a neighbor, and / With (likewise) a high falsetto; / And he stabbed his forefinger into his hand / As if it had been a stiletto.
