BONFIRES
Blue-grey horizons, darkening into a blue-black sky; above a sharply jutting hill a silver spear of star; the headland, bold, immense; shattering walls of foam, thundering and pounding on a darkly-glistening beach, and over all the bright queer shadows and flames of a bonfire, blazing with huge stacked logs, bleached white with sun . • • say young voices lilting into campfire songs, breaking into happy laughter, softening, merging into the crash of the surf . . . other things come and other things go, but the memory of this lingers on for ever, like a, strange old tune played softly by hidden fingers.
