A reflective poem by Helen T. Clark contemplates readiness for night and final duty. The speaker fears time’s end and a silent blow, then resolves to work and weave while day pulses strong, until darkness falls. The verse uses imagery of walls, dungeon bars, and unfinished tasks.
A Globe-Democrat analysis contrasts the dyspeptic urge with the natural man’s urge to live and enjoy life. It argues that license to eat must be earned through restraint, warning that giving in leads to misery and that true salvation comes from moderation and learning to live. The piece ends noting St Paul’s twelve bells as a world’s grandest peal in London.
A Boston Herald account recalls St Pauls bells tolling for President Garfield with Great Paul and a five ton bell chiming in solemn tribute. Dense crowds filled London streets and windows as the world showed sympathy and brotherhood in mourning the dead leader.
