Crane, Stephen. "I walked in a desert".

Summary

- the speaker cries to God and pleads to be taken from the desert he walks in

- there is a voice insisting that this is no desert

Analysis

- brief, simple; written in an unpoetic, commonly used language

- reminds the reader that there is higher authority than man

- may suggest that man has no right to call God's creation ugly or unpleasant because if it really were so, God would probably not have created it
