Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 March 1908 — “No Gulf of Mute Space.” [ARTICLE]

“No Gulf of Mute Space.”

The thousand soft voices of the earth have truly found their way to me —the small rustle in tufts of grass, the silky swish of leaves, the buzz of Insects, the hum of bees In blossoms I have plucked, the flutter of a bird's wings after his bath, and the slender rippling vibration of water running over pebbles. Once having been felt, these loved voices rustle, buzz, hum, flutter and ripple In my thought forever, an undying part of happy memories.—From Helen Keller’s “Sense and Sensibility’’ in Century.
