Bells


Your voices break and falter in the darkness,— Break, falter, and are still. Bret Harte.—The Angelus, Last Stanza.	1
Can the tolling of the Old South bell be painted? Hawthorne.—American Note-Books. Salem, September 14, 1841.	2
When o’er the street the morning peal is flung From yon tall belfry with the brazen tongue, Its wide vibrations, wafted by the gale, To each far listener tell a different tale. Holmes.—The Bells.	3
Those dumb mouths that have no speech, Only a cry from each to each, In its own kind, with its own laws; Something that is beyond the reach Of human power to learn or teach,— An inarticulate moan of pain, Like the immeasurable main Breaking upon an unknown beach. Longfellow.—Tales of a Wayside Inn: The Bell of Atri, Interlude, Line 2.	4
