greatness, Elidu.
In a fovor of rapture I roisa my hoad
and drop my hand to tho keys that the
Bong may be born out of tho silence,
out of the BadneBd of my heart.
Yet I Btrike no note. For no v all
power in mo is cuspended, all my facul
ties aro dead but one I can see.
And I am not alone.
In tho box nearest t-j me, on n level
with the stage, so near that I cm al

atillnesa, u woman Bits. One gloved
hand clutchei thd heavy curtaio that
half conceals her ligure, tho other holds

catch the Hare of the one luht. And
tho eyes behind are fastened upon mo,
hero at tho piano wo two alano in tho

she, this doad woman, Bat gazing with
eighties t eyos through the lenses of hor
lorgnotto.
I am mad to think of it. Yet I turn
back from thu box, und sitting down at
tho piano again bjgin to play. Of all
the music that lives ia my heart, of all

'When tho Heart Breaks, it shall

whisper.
For now I know her. From afar, out
