complete.

Turning Over An
Old Leaf
Phillip A. Gladheim

"There were faces to remember in
the Valley of the Shadow,
There were faces unregarded, there
were faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and fear that
are few forgotten ashes
There were sparks of recognition
that are not forgotten YETI.
Samuel W. F'oss once wrote some
verse that began in such fashion that il
has almost become a popular motto.
The verse opens with this line: "Let
me sit in my house by the side of the
road and be a friend to man." Whit
man in his Song of The Open Road"
puts the matter more warmly:
"Still here l carry my old delicious
burdens,
l carry them, men and women, l
carry them with me wherever | go,
| swear it is impossible for me to get
rid of them,
I am filled with them, and I will fill
them in return"
To watch the race of men go by in
these Oakland streets is an awesome
view. Time flows so swiftly that the
past is often obliterated as quickly as
landscape seen from the rear obser-
walton car of a fast express. Real
people fade from memory, but never
theless they remain a part of the
landscape, a part of these streets,
even though time has shuttled US, who
are still erect, nearer the brink where
we too must lie down and become dust
Time flows so swiftly that the present,
with its opportunity, comes and goes,
and we stand in bewilderment. This
present generation lives in a peculiar
daze. The rapid shift in events dims
the memory of things that happened
but yesterday. The diversity of out
look, both geographical and psyche
logical, makes it increasingly difficult
for decision and action, and temerity
is succeeded by regret.
So many people walk our streets as
though they were ghosts, and they
are unhappy. They carry dual bur-
den of the loss of recollection, and the
incapacity to seize the present and
make it victory of the spirit. Thisi
is what Whitman meant when he
spoke of 'the old delicious burdens. "
But the latter part of his verse sounds
major theme, the theme of fulfill
ment. The informing spirit of the
landscape conceives a compassion for
the people which makes it possible to
