Lines to Beauty

—— ; — a Softly and- sweetly on wings of mind, Comes music- to my car. Sounding down through aeons of time, Cosmic and unrefined. Would that a master tongue were mine To tell in simple song Of tho flood of beauty that fills my soul ; For man needs bcAiit-y most of all, 'Tis sunshine to his soul. Beauty of -spirit, Beauty of flesh, Beauty of trail as well as goal. And tho music I hear with my inner ear From out of tho cosmic deep Contains the germ of a coming timo, When the social mind will reap. A harvest of grand and beautiful men And women and girls and boys. It carries tlie seeds of radiant deeds, So noble and fine and free That the very earth will rock with mirth; Become a child of glee; Will feel tho thrill of an inner will To cast into tho sea All that i.s ugly and sordid and mean, All that is cheap and shallow, Men will clear tho world of fear, When men the:muse of beauty follow. For beauty is life, and lifo is joy; And joy, what may that bo But love of men; and thus again I know lovo's harmony. —F. Guy Davis, in "The Public."

"I won't produce it all in pno spot either, but at three places, and thus carry out what privato enterprise is doing for us now," bo added. '

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.75%.
