CLASS PROPHECY Carelessly I picked up a book — an old one — and poetry at that. Tennyson — oh, yes — he was poet laureate of England for Victoria, wasn’t he? Idly 1 turned the pages — then stopped— my eyes fell on these lines: “For I dip’t into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that could be. “Saw the heavens filled with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales. Heard the heavens filled with shouting and there rained a ghastly dew From the nations’ airy navies, grappling in the central lilue. Why, he even saw the hope of the hopeful — the Federation of Man. Tennyson was a wonderful man, I thought. He dip’t into the future. 1 leaned back, closed my eyes.
