SOUND AND EMOTION
The Archbishop of Canterbury has said: "I sometimes think that the cry of the curlew goes to my heart more than any sound in creation.” notes a writer in the “Evening News.” There are sounds, detached from sight and heard across wide spaces, which can stir or uplift human hearts almost more than other influence. One has to be very insensitive to resist the echo of a bugle, heard across a summer dusk from a distant camp; or in w t.\ London night the sudden hoot of a tug going upriver on the tide: or the sound of church bolls across fields: the sleepy lap of water against a dinghy; the thrum of telegraph wires in the wind; the song of the lark, the jingle of a barrel-organ, the laughter of children, and all the soft little whispers of an old house on a quiet night.
