realize that ,the drama you watched
was part Of bigger, vast event, in
which a hundred thousand men and
women had played their part. You did.
not realize that for this little play Of

down in the forests; that saws had
shrieked and wheels had turned. You
did not realizs that for your 6tenihg's

How many persons can see back Of
this play the pastoral, scenssa men
