vinegar OF Tragic events allowing the
sun to dispel the 10th Century pair
Crows at the ZOOS getting more
enjoyment watching monkeys
whackrobatics than they derive
from the company Of most humans
Waves splashed with sun
shine, showing their petticoats az
they break along Coney Islands
shores The sun being slowly
swallowed by the horizon as whis-
pers Of night stretch across the
sky.
The young shoeshine boy at
Grand Central who writes poetry
and asks patrons to read it. Some
of it Is good, too Sidewalk
cafes coming out of their Winter
Information, adding a picturesque
touch to the citys scenic knacks. .
Residential sidestreets filled with
silence at midnight The blonde
at Times So. offering to kiss every
sailor who passes Humanity
strolling in parks and streets on
sunny weekendS. Little scenes OF
peace that great armies and navies
are fighting to protect and come
home to.
Winderful breezes Juggling at the
skirts of pretty girls >. Quiet hooks
along Fifth Avenue after midnight
that attract oppositeS: Lovers and
muggerS Lovely eQuestrians in
Central Park lassoing every males
stare >. The blind pushcart sales
man in the garment district who
wears a new, brightly-colored tie
every day Open top cabs dare
devilingt heir way through the pell-
melodrama Of midtown traffic il.
Young girls roller-skating, wearing
peaches and cream compilations that
only health can brew Springs
magic reminding youth to furnish
caStles-in-the-air with their dreams
The siX-year-old who walks q
huge police dog along Sixth Avenue
every morning. She has the bluest
eyes-rhapsodies in blue.
Song Scribblers who are inspired
to turn out lacy ditties that cause
others to fall in love-but are cynics
about love and everything else
Spring showers that saturate the
city with hiccup suddenness
Wooers in movie balconies giving
away their location by sending up
tiny rockets of giggles Waves
bruising themselves against piers
while loafers sit gripped by day
dreams >. Tiny boats in the river
swaying like a flame in the breeze
A sign in a Broadway eatery: Love
Comes Once In q Lifetime and
Gives You the Time OF Your Life
which was first used here many
years ago Street corner foolo-
sophers coming out again, ready to
broadcast an opinion If only one
pair of ears tune in Newly
minted Spring daze embroidered
with sunshine, covered with
whipped-cream clouds, wrapped in
a silky atmosphere and dedicated
to love.
Lovers building a private Para
disc in a world where Hell
has broken loose Reverent sill
ence wrapped around the city while
dawn cradles the baby of new day
-. Bird nests in corners of theatel
marques =. Organ-grinders on the
lower East Side who make theil
appearance with the robins
Crisp, cool nights when the SKY
Is a screen for its matchless stars
HoboWeryites oblivious to the
delights of Spring, surrounded By
the tombs Of their. own failures. :.
Artists with sketching pads in the
park, trying to catch a moment Of
beauty and hold it forever . Schr.
rying New Workers, too busy making
a living to enjoy more Of the soft
music Of life that Spring composes
Commuters passing the con.
versational medicine ball, with vic.
tory gardens the main subject
Spring: A patch of peace in a worlc
ripped apart by trouble . . Deep
deep blue afternoon skies so clea,
