, aw 12 THE HERMIAD found in the symphonic uproar a truer revelation of man than all the later fumbling succeeded in doing, An ear correctly attuned would have deduced from a study of the Knights at a time when they were gnawing denuded bones under the Round Table, a better understanding than was 'possible to any sentimental Tennyson. The prophets of old who dipped their crusts in the common tureen could be simple men. In that day no taboo had yet vulgarized the primal music of mastication. That whole-hearted eating must have helped to establish the gastric integrity which centuries of politness have not wholly succeeded in breaking down. Without the testimony of children we are able to learn that noise is an expression of naturalness. The instinct to enjoy the sound of our own processes is repeatedly indicated in our habitual longing for expression. The blacksmith's joyous supplement to the strictly necessary blows of his weapon is a beautiful case in point. As the one-time neighbor of a blacksmith who has heard what he has heard I speak with precise authority. It would be absurd to pretend that all occupational sounds hold an equivalent glory, but I am positive that the carpenter not only knows but needs the cry of the driven nail and that shriek of his jackplane. If you understand carpentering you understand its impacts. The technique of nail- ing is capable of exquisite refinementsg these are more than welcome to the educated ear. Every occupation, no matter how trivial, advertises some phase of the same instinct. The man upstairs does not feel that his shoes areioff until he has made the fioor understand, When some one six iiights up shoots him- self, the thing passes without notice upon the theory of a slammed door. The natural way to know that a door is closed, as any child may teach us, is by the detonation. Some people can look for a scarf or a glove in various drawers of a dresser upon the same theory. Each thud seems to say with particular malice, Well, it isn't in that drawer anyway. If the Searcher is a fragile lady imperfectly addicted to swearing each thud is not only a wooden damn but a rich and virulent obscenity. Therefore silence is a degenerate ideal. When we say that a man likes to hear himself talk We are uttering the veriest platitude. One's own bron- chial reliefs are the true basis of vocal art. It is so with all expression. How can you feel busy if you are noiseless? How can you be brisk on rubber heels? Imagine a man at a trolley lever who could not get an answering thunder! Imagine a restaurant dishwasher after a well meaning science has invented rubber plates! J It is in domestic noises, however, that we get the sharpest suggestion of dangerous ideals. Rather handsome caveman snores have resulted in more separations than the most silent drinkings. When love was simpler and strong men were stronger there was no debate over the trivial rhythms of life. In those days men ate soup in a manly way, They had a sort of bearded appre- ciation. Silent maleness is modern but it may lead to great degeneration. 4 -Ia, ft
