O* ay' S"io{* A pale uatery moon washed the u.torld white, The stark tall trees cast shadoas like glass. The leaaes turned ice, lrozen by lright; The lrosted uind flew through the skeleton trees. Aspen leaf quiaers, the uystal ball sbiaers Suspended in space on an icicle string Bounced like a yo-yo by an intangible Thing. So helpless, so insecure on its icicle line, Pearly ball llows on through tine. Tbrough a blank, empty notbing saoe rnisty moonshine. 'Vhere shall it go? V/hen shall it stop? Hou lar rnust it wander in chilly, white light Before it dissolues and leaaes no trace Ol lile or reality in this unreal place. - LIN (IVD) GIBSON HOUSE

.A 6l*lr[oy'u 'p,ryu, Ob \Vorld ! Ernbrace me axd bold ne close to your breast, Seal ny beart in the uarmtb ol your earth, And carry, free, tny soul on tbe crest Ol the waaes ol your seas. Ob Humanity ! Accept my black body as one ol you wbite, Loae ne as dearly as I loue you And bind not toith hands ol hate, so tight, My freedoru-hungry heart. Ob God ! Forgiue my body lor its black skin And accept rny pure white soal. He wbo reuiles me is ubite uithout, but uithin His soul is black.

. THE ILLUSTRIOUS BLOOD drizzled dovn the columns.. The senators swarmed out of rhe Senate House, stumbling, fearing to look back and crying in horror, "Noble Caesar is murderedl" I lurched forward at the top of the steps. "Oh! Noble Caesar," I mutterbd. In the East, the florid sun rolled in the turbulent clouds; piercing flashes interrupted the clouds" motion and poured wrath on Earth. Below, Rome plunged into pandemonium.
