TANTALUS THELMA LEVITT The rain rushed violently down in torrents. The night was bleak and gray. The man drew his filthy, tattered coat collar about him and shivered. His drawn, hungry face looked pathetically envious as he stared at the warmly clothed pedestrians passing to and fro. His brain seemed to throb with a steady beat, Something to eat! Something to eat! He blew on his hands to put some warmth into them. Suddenly a car came to an abrupt stop, and the chauffeur opened the door for a woman whose throat and arms were covered with jewels. As she stood for a moment, apparently waiting for someone, the beggar noticed hanging from her wrist, a bracelet which was held from falling to the ground by a tiny catch. His heart pounded as he realized how easily the bracelet might fall—fall into his possession. He grew faint and closed his eyes a second as if to gain vitality. He moved slowly towards the woman. His plan was to lurch drunkenly against her quite accidentally. That would loosen the bracelet into his hands. He glanced about him to see that no one was watching. Reassured he moved closer and closer to her and stretched out his grimy hand. Suddenly, the bracelet grew larger and larger and began to whirl around and around. The woman, the car, the people, the houses, all whirled about him into space. The woman turned as a small crowd of people gathered near her. What happened? she asked, as a man arose from his kneeling posi tion near the prostrate figure. Dead, poor beggar! he exclaimed. ARTEMIS She, is a sliver of silver, now a gleaming disk. But the clouds PIONEER are jealous. They smother her and tear her apart, and make her vanish. Yet she returns again and grows again eternally. Is it Artemis or yet another? Mary Litwin He stands alone In a world that is cruel To theorists. He waits alone For his brethren to follow Where they want not to go. He came alone, And waits tirelessly But they will come At the end of a millenium. RurH LEWITTER
