More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE FORCE OF ExAMPLE

An owl, whose custom it had been
To spend his nights in eerie screech-
ing
And raise the devil of a din,
According to his early teaching,
One evening, dazzled by the gloom
Within a White House window wan
dered
And fluttered to the sleeping room
Where Mr.. Coolidge lay, and pom
dered.
I:
Had he confronted me or you
In such a crucial situation
He likely would have cried: "Hoo
Hoov
With hideous vociferation.
And we in turn, had we beheld
An eldritch shape about us hover
Would very probably have yelled,
And hid our heads beneath the cover.
But Calvin gazed upon the bird
without qualm of trepidation;
The president said not a word
The owl vouchsafed no conversation
And when the morning skies grew
grey
Inc unlnVlteo stranger Wendeu
On silent wings his homeward way,
And thus the interview was ended.
OF seven owls which make their home
About the stately White House por-
tails
Six wake, amid the gathering gloam
The echoes with their boots and
chortles,
But one has been inside the place,
And while the others screech and
riot
He wears a meditative face
And keeps astonishingly quiet
