There are more roads than two, of course, almost as many as men, but they all lead to journey's end where clamour ceases, and the rest is silence. The poet feels his "unknown want," hisunutterable yearning." his

Each in passing clamours at his brother as a maker of mistaken noises. See, now, bow inevitable it all is. We began in the gallery, as amused onlookers. As our essay nears its close we hear, all of a sudden, our own voice, chamouring, clamour- ing, with the rest, and we realize that aloofness is act possible-but only An illusion about which we clamour as if it were a truth as golden as silence. In it and of it, clamourers all, there is no one silent, no, not one.

IF I SHOULD. DIE,

If I should die on's Monday! And Peter ask of ine "What did con do on Sunday To eam eternity!"

Could I confess that I'd been unkind And had ungenerous thoughts in mind: To my neatest duties been too blind What earthly excuses could I find For Peter on the Monday? If on a Tuesday I should die And Peter Boar to meet.

Would Monday's doings of mine supply A pass to the Pearly Street 3

Was it not then that I showed a frown Ente a brother who'd fallen down And jerked away the skirt of my gown As I passed him by on my way to Towa That very Levitical Monday?

If on Wednesday I should die And gain old Peter's gate" My Tuesday programme of vanity Could I candidly relate.

If I should die on a Thursday

Could I bea: Peter's face

As he glanced down my Wednesday's list

Of speech and action base?

O Mary, Mother of God most high. Clean my sheet for St. Peter's eye Hear my real repentance cry Out of the depth where I do lie That I didn't die last Tuesday!

If I should die on a Friday

I, with Lucifer's pride that fell,

I who had made of earth a hell, Before I left it on Saturday?

If on a Sunday I should die And meet old Peter after, Could I his humorous eye defy Or his amuséd laughter!

Was Saturday's sunny afternoon Used by me as a Godsent boon! Did I use it as one who might lose it soon? Peter is only the Man in the Moon-- The Duty of Happiness sings my ruNE— Let Peter say what he will
