Oh, glad am I for pleasure,

There would be no use in living—

a setting that vividly suggests "The

from her illness-dominated years,
lifting the curtain that separates the
room of a suffering patient from the
gay, untroubled world just outside the
walls of the sufferer's house. Only

But above and beyond the subjec-
tive strain there stirs in her a com-
passion for mankind. A wider exper-
ience with the world in which the pan-
orama of the general life is unfolded
should give her an invaluable insight
into the problems of men and women
which constitute the strings of the
harp upon which must play the fin-
gers of the pet. .1 ust now she sings
a simple song such as

A mighty Hand cast hack the curtain,
And to the world a people stood re-
vealed
Naked and unashamed in the strong
white light of liberty,
Struggling from darkening depths to
reach great crag-held heights,
With outstretched hands.

Outside the sounds--good sounds--

I wonder if I'll ever sleep again,
l wonder if the pain will ever stop.

Upon the little table near my bed
Rests blessed sleep,
In a little box are tiny milk-white
capsules
Holding oblivion.

I've counted sheep—
Grey sheep. an endless number
Jumping a high-board fence.
Can sheep really jump?

It's getting cooler;
The dawn wind stirs the curtains

gently to and fro.

The specters melt into the morning.
