For, 'what can be explained is not A piece of art worthwhile has a challenge about it and is to be lived rather than found out." He read again, three poems, but before the third one he spoke: "When I left the quiet of: the prairie and went up to stinking stockyards and whirls of traffic, I found that in. factories mid scraping and groaning machines, men were keeping their serenity and sanity with a saying your shirt on don't tear your wrote this poem."
