POWER OF MUSIC Music, is it in your power To soothe man's soul and mind From the awful aches of war? Can you make men forget What they have longed to rub From their eternal sight: The bloodshed, horror, and The ghastly things of war? In peace, tis yours to make All men forget their daily tasks, And hold them enchanted in your arms, And hear the sounds of heaven Ring forth from Paradise. But now, () Master of man's soul and mind. What can you do for tortured minds and souls? As often as I wonder, I know that men will wonder too, II you can make an earthly soul Live in Paradise, if only For a fleeting moment of time. Virginia Riks SEA SOUNDS The most enjoyable sounds in the world arc not new sounds, freshly cre- ated in the last century. They are old sounds that men have heard for thou- sands of years. One could hear them in Portsmouth harbor in the year 1750, on a pirate ship in the Caribbean deep in Spanish Main, on one of McKay’s im- mortal clippers rounding the Horn in the teeth of a gale . . . These sounds of ships — the rig- ging, the surging water, the shouts of men, and the cries of gulls are the same the world over—and have been. To sit on the warm lee deck in the toasting sun with the boat hove over and propelled by a fresh, clean, salty wind. . . . To see the bubbles on the wave-washed deck — diamonds on a green velvet backdrop. . . . To hear the wind in the rigging whistling softly — moaning. . . . To listen at night in a quiet, dark harbor, to the squeaking of the blocks, the slapping halyards, the groan of strained timber — while the gentle oily swell rolls in from deep water . . . very deep water . . . water rolling in the same majestic swells as it did five thousand years ago. . . . I like sea sounds. They have the dignity of great age. Harold Borns Illustra led by the author Radio Program Bon Hon-.
