I ATIPANIDCM
LOVE THE WILD SWAN
“I hate my versra, every line, every word,
Oh pale and brittle pencils ever to try
One glass-blade’s curve, or the throat of one bird
That clings to twig, rufflod against w^hite sky.
Oh cracked and twilight mirrors ever to catch
One color, one glinting flash, of the splendor of things.
Unlucky hunter, oh bullets of wax.
The lion beauty, the wild-swan wings, the storm of the
wings. ’ ’
—This wild swan of a world is no hunter’s game. Bet
ter bullets than yours would miss the white breast.
Better mirrors than yours would crack in the flame.
Does it matter whether you hate your . . . self? At least
Love your eyes that can see your mind that can
Hear the music, the thunder of the wings.
Love the Wild Swan.
—Robinson Jeffers.
I BECAUSE MY GRIEF SEEMS QUIET AND APART
p Because my grief seems quiet and apart,
Think not for such a reason it is less,
g True sorrow makes a silence in the heart,
a Joy has its friends, but grief its loneliness,
g The grief that tears too readily to confess,
g Can mended be, by fortune or by art,
S But there are woes no medicine can dress,
8 As there are wounds that from the spirit start.
§ So do not wonder that I do not weep,
« Or say my anguish is too little shown.
3C5 There is a quiet here, there is a sleep,
^ There is a peace that I have made my own.
M ilan by himself goes down into the deep, .
p Certain and unbefrien€ed and alone.
^ . —Robert Nathan.
Well, exams are o'ver and we have
heard the worst—or maybe the best.
Let’s hope that our good intentions
to study this sememter will last at
least two weeks!
It seems that a few people had a
good time during exam week. Vir
ginia Lee was raving forth about the
swell time she and Dick had play
ing around in Kinston.
Isn’t that a cute car that Milly
Troxler is driving this week! Guess
whose it is? I think his name is
Bob.
Kato Pratt is wearing a mighty
pleased expression on her face. Have
you noticed? She must be thinking
of that Chi Psi house party down
at “the hill.”
Mary Woodruff danced to the di
vine music of Eddie Duchin up at
W. and L. last week. Lucky Mary!
The teaching ability of several of
the seniors was displayed at the din
ner Tliursday night. Incidentally
the trustees make apt pupils.
Have you heard the new “Splint
er” song ? It’s “ I’ve got you unde?
my skin.” The new “Beauty Pal
lor” song is “I’m in the mud fo'
love. ’ ’
Garnelle Raney, a senior of las^
year, was here Monday. We certain'
ly were glad to see her.
We are also glad to see “Aggie’’
Brown—Miss Brown to you—wh®
graduated from Salem last year.
has been studying at Chapel Hill
but is now a new instructor in Soci
ology here.
Anna Leak Scott has been see®
several nights—Sundays and ThurS'
days to be exact—with a certai®
young man from Lexington. He call'
lier on the telephone from Lexing'
ton to see if she is free for tl>^
evening.
Georgia Goodson looked mightj
good at the concert the other nigh*-.
Incidentally, she was with a ne’*
man. That little bow on Georgia
velvet hat sorta gets ’em, I think
Well, 1 have to go curl my ha>*
for the party Saturday night. Tak^
care and don’t trip over your trni"
when going down the steps to th^
gym on the arm of your best beau
