A few sobs were audible in the silence of a few seconds which followed until the crash of @ cannon (a maroon, they call it) marked the hour of eleven and the beginning of the Great Silence which lasted two minutes and was so intense that for the first time I felt a silence as well as heard it. The vast crowd stood in Oxford, as a larger and similar one stood in London without @ murmur. Traffic was stopped. Peo- ple in the windows of houses across St. Giles seemed near, the silence was So great. And then, a little golden- headed child preached the sermon of the day. Flinging its arms about its mother’s neck it screamed, ‘I want to go home! I don’t like the big guns! I don’t LIKE the big guns! I want to go home.’ Its shrieks rent the silent air and yet seemed not to disturb the reverence of the moment. “The bells, those famous bells of Oxford, no two on the same on ann struck the hour as we listened, and they seemed somehow remote, not in the silence, but of it. Impressive in- sistence that this was the great hour. “At last, another maroon announced that the silence was ended, the crowd moved again and, as is the enviable custom here after sounding the Last Post for the dead, the buglers began the Reveille.
