Stock market upswings are generally
of long duration. while the slumps are as
. rule short-lived. This would augur well

ANp LEE HEART sTRErcHEs


! have ceased straining after
something new
To say of love, for allthings
have been said,
And no words tell, however
winged and red,
The passion Of its ecstasy and
rue
no wind from unknown space
that ever blew.
No spring-lit flower that
ever raised its head,
No earth and sky in dis
lance ever wed,
Reflects the heart of love or
paints its hue.
Il IS as Il from some dim
mountain height
That sends the heart achaI-
lenge to explore,
To climb e know and
therein to be free
There burst peIl-men upon
the startled sight
Empires Of leweled space
not known before,
And the heart stretches
TO eternity.
