For some, necessary. Others? Accessory. Clear views, Apfel a muse.

I rise without feet from grounded stone, Yet bow to none though I stand alone. I carry passage, but hold no door, And whisper weight from shore to shore.

I touch the earth and I touch the sky, but if I touch you, you’ll likely die. What am I?

Guarded by a hairy shell, I hide a thirst-quenching treasure. My water is sweet, my flesh is white, a tropical delight in the sun's embrace.

Use this when you want to see things from afar, Like a creepy neighbor or a shining star.
