Sinossi
Excerpt from The One-Hoss Shay, the Chambered Nautilus, and Other Poems, Gay and Grave
There is a practical lesson to be got out of the story. Observation shows us in what point any particular mechan ism is most likely to give way. In a wagon, for instance, the weak point is where the axle enters the hub or nave. When the wagon breaks down, three times out of four, I think, it is at this point that the accident occurs. The workman should see to it that this part should never give way; then find the next vulnerable place, and so on, until he arrives logically at the perfect result attained by the deacon.
