THE CHRONICLE SCHOOL-A SOLILOQUY A genile breeze frips fhru 'rhe leaves of 'I'he free-laden earfhg The lulling hymn of morning noises greefs +he rising sun: The rays serene, +hey venf 'lheir spleen upon fhe somber dark of nighi: A world of quief, now awake. A rusfle, 'lhen a siir is felf, The Clickefy-Clump of heel and foe, low murmurs of expecfanf voices, The movemeni' spreads un+il all aboui' is sound! A void of empiiness becomes alive wifhin. Whife marble is all-embracing. The shriek of 'roriured meial pierces everywhere: Tenacious iumulf assumes command once more, Time passes, and fhe realm of +hough+ is renf by hubbub, clash, clamor! Where silence reigned, bedlam holds sway! Then quief ..... af infervals, fhe piercing shriek, Once more +he rusfle, now, +oo, ihe sfir. The seas of knowledge cease fo flow, The Cliclrefy-Clump of heel and foe. And all is sfill. A genfle breeze frips ihru +he leaves of ihe free-laden earfhg The lulling hymn of evening noises is soff blended music: The void wi'rhin whi+e marbled walls conceals a bea+ing hearfg This hear+ 'l'ha1' bears, +his hearf +ha+ lives, This hear? fhaf draws me back. Anoiher day, is if nor io be? GILBERT R. BASS page rhirfeen
