"Aut Lacedaemonium Tarentum," said the monk at my shoulder quietly; and, as I stared at him, "Ah, to be sure, this is your Tarentum, is it not? Yet the words came to me for the sound's sake only and their so gentle close. Our voyage has even such an ending." "I had best run on," I suggested, "and warn my father of your coming." "It is not necessary."
I figure the Mex are goin' in through that winder they busted. That sound's their boots scaling the wall." "Ever been inside?" "Wunst, ter take some papers ter Lacy." "Well, what's it like? For God's sake speak up there's goin' ter be hell to pay in a minute." "Thar's two rooms; ther outside door an' winder are in the front one, which is the biggest.
Providence generally figgers to hand you things at inconvenient times. This darn sound's tricky when there ain't breeze enough to clear your smoke away. It's fierce when it's blowing. Guess you'll be glad to see your outfit ashore." "Ye-es." "Up country again this year?" Kars laughed. "Sure." The seaman regarded him enviously. "Guess it must be great only having the weather to beat.
"It sound's like Peters's boat, too." "It is!" exclaimed Tom. "Here he comes. He ought to know better than to cut through this raft of boats at that speed." "Is he headed toward us?" "No, I guess he's had enough of that. But look at him!" With undiminished speed the burly promoter was driving his boat on.
They talk for the sound's sake, giving flippant utterance to the commonplaces of the day. But did God endow this sex with speech, to be exercised only on folly and nonsense? No, we have seen too many living examples to the contrary, of women "alike from careless levity remote, And a behavior schooled by selfish rules, Alike removed from rashness and from fear."
Noises far and near blend into a muffled murmur, sound's equivalent of the impression received by the eye; it seems to utter the weariness of unending ineffectual toil. Nancy had now walked as far as Newington, a district unfamiliar to her, and repulsive.
And it was not a mere retort for the sound's sake, but was a cheerful cogent consequence of the refusal; for if Lammle had applied himself again to the loaf, it would have been so heavily visited, in Fledgeby's opinion, as to demand abstinence from bread, on his part, for the remainder of that meal at least, if not for the whole of the next.
But the first spring day is not on the time-table at all. It comes when it is ready, and in the latitude of New York this is usually not till after All Fools' Day. About this time, "When chinks in April's windy dome Let through a day of June, And foot and thought incline to roam, And every sound's a tune,"
The sphere of the ether is the sphere of the creative archetypes of the world, and when we learn that to one part of this world the character of sound is attributed, we must search for a phenomenon, perceptible to our senses, which reveals to us the secret of the sound's form-creating power.
All are valued highly; but none so highly as the right of the White Hussars to have the Band playing when their horses are being watered in the Lines. Only one tune is played, and that tune never varies. I don't know its real name, but the White Hussars call it: "Take me to London again." It sound's very pretty. The Regiment would sooner be struck off the roster than forego their distinction.
