When Mind Meets Mind.

The crash of onyx upon porphyry, the dull thumping of empty cocoanuts, the shrill whistle of windmills in a gale, the yowling of tom-cats, the explosion of redhot bladders, the bleating of sheep on lonely moors, the clash of tin swords, the rattling of dumb-waiters, the braying of jackasses, the snorting of hippopotamuses, the squeaking of hautboys and bagpipes, the gurgle of cut jugulars, the cracking of sclerotic knees, the blowing up and bußtlng of logic, the torture and death of the English language . . . a meeting of the house of representatives of the United States. —& L, Mencken in the Smart Set. r
