It'is the most beauti- ful adventure in life,” and the next day when they found him his face reflected the peace of one whose soul has lookel upon great beauty. These were sublime acts and utterances But there was a sturdy simplicity in the words, “We sang pperary’ * that sent a stinging stream ressing aganist my eyelids. ] Such'a foolish, brave meaningless song You've heard it and you've wondered 4 Wwhere the meaning had tucked itself \ away beneath the mass of words.
