Road Cycling Highlight

Who stopped the wheel at the Orbicella mill for the last time? Who last heard it squeak? Who took away the last sack of flour?
Where is now the boy who last brought his half sack of grain? Where is the last farmer who handed him a bunch of ripe grapes?
Where are the wheat fields and where are the vineyards?
Everyone is gone!
The tired walls and the stationary wheel remain. Only he is left, the mill. Humble witness who recalls the heavy lament of a civilization that was.
