STUFF AND NONSENSE ■ i By Wilborne Harrell MY CITY Let me live where the pavements are spread in grass j And gaunt steel skeletons are leafy j bowers Where the canons of stone and ] wood and brass ’ Are drenched in dews and ' summer showers. Where the man made twinkling and blinking of lights May become a starry infinity— 1 Oh, a thousand odors and sounds and sights 1 call me away o’er the roof-top sed. These past few days have been so < hot that I just had to do something about it—but the best I could muster 1 was: *Tis hot, I ween, as hot can be ■ the weather I do call evil— But it works some good and cautions • me I,d better fear the devil. • Since we are on the subject of the 1 weather, here’s a hot weather letter ! for your girl, that’s short and sweet ■ and to the point. Darling, I’m sending this letter 1 Altho I’d rather see you To tell you things I’d like much better Than writing the news to gi’ you. It has been my habit, to write a few lines on every experience that I have met up with. Here’s what an airplane trip did to a friend of mine: There was a young Than named Harry Paine Who went for a ride in an airy , plane He’d try anything once So he tried -a few. stunts — But when he came down he never went up again And that’s that- Friend Harry is positively nauseated at the sound of an airplane motor. This is just the kind of weather that, makes me long for emerald seas and coral strands and waving palms and the rest of the South Sea stage setting we find in books and on the screen. And now here is a card from Honolulu. The strain is too great— I just must break into song: I’4 like to be there, Hawaii, these moonlit nights ' When your velvet o’erhead is prick ed with stars. Where the night is soft; sweet music delights, V All * _ _ 1 A A A M/I C* O Land of the pineapple, surf boards and steel gu iters. MID-SUMMER NOTE: Cloud-ships sail in the sea-blue sky Questing bees go winging by; Flowers bloom on the crest of the hill And the nights are warm and soft and still. WEE LITTLE MAN To Anybody’s Little boy Four years old, knee high to a duck, Sturdy little fellow, plenty of pluck. Worth a million dollars, his weight in gold- This wee little man, this gentleman bold. All day long he’s busy in play, Striding the quarter deck, a pirate today; Tomorrow an Indian, fighting a flame. But he ne’er can change, he’ll always be This same little fellow he is to me;- Fireman, pirate, or a nation’s guid ing hand, He’s just to me my wee little man. LOVERS LAMENT Far be it from me to be facetious Yet against my will my pen is capri cious My heart is as empty, it seems, As a rusty tin can divested of its beans That is torn so cruelly by the open er’s knife That is battered and dented and kick ed in the strife Til at last it comes to the end of the trail Tied to the end of a mofcgrels tail. THE BEND IN THE ROAD When my days of adventure are over, When the strenous life must cease, All I ask is just to bask And invite my soul in peace. A pipe, a book, a sunny nook, A trout a-fighting on a hook; The calm that comes with a consc ience clear, The boon of having loved ones near. "' These I ask and very little more To guide my feet to the journey’s end; To plod with me the dusty road s' And go with me around the bend. MY PRAYER Let me live, 0 Lord, thru the eyes of my soul and daily enter thy world thru the gateway of my heart— Let me heed the dispassionate dic tates of Wisdom and Truth — Let my place of worship, O Lord, be r not an arena for the displaying of human vanities; or an edifice raised to flaunt the hypocricies of man; but may I tread the calm cathedral aisles of woodland temples and offer my supplications before thee.— *' S Let not my vision be narrowed by d&iijy contact with narrowness, and , 3 \ Personals Miss Margaret Satterfield and Miss Evelyn Jackson spent several days last week at Nags Head as guests of Miss Kathryn Holmes.
