Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1922-07-22

July days in the country cannot help
but DO in,bucd with the spirit Of
placid content that slumbers over tho
fields and lanes. The calm OF early
autumn seems manifested these warm
July days. Mahlon Leonard Fisher
embodies in words the intangible
phcidity OF July:
1t must be summer: but Of such
calm
Doth winter weave his dream of
cloakinS snow.
OF altar d'airs that are. no airs ablow:
And Yet from somewhere. as It were
Blows incense slowly. Slowly. like
psalm
Or slowly said responses. slips the
stream:
A slim and silvery minnow doth It
Mid grasses graSping. In the meadows
palm.
No bird need sing today. and no bird
sings:
This stiffness Is enough: II Is to me
The muted prelude to Eternity:
A summing up OF hushed and ended
things;
The balancing Of natures books,
who creeps
Close 10 a stone. and in her own
shade sleeps.
