Dover Beach - Matthew Arnold e t Ti - . .? at the window, shrieking angrily at the realization The wind tore that its sheer fury could not dislodge me from the safety proffered by the securely bonded latch that denied it entry. In that netherworld beyond the double panes that divided me, though scarcely, from tumult and chaos, the sea, with a deep, throaty roar, merged with the banshee-lik- e cacophony that now implored my joining. Who can resist?, I wondered, my heart pounding with the thrill evoked by the mesmerizing, thundering, pounding, throbbing sensation of it all. Far from resisting, I instead, yearned to join, to unite with the terrible supplication of the wind and sea. To feel the lash of the salton spray upon my face and d beyond, against the shore, reach out to the inexorable appeal of the ever mounting waves that chewed at the intervening seawall with a relentless, angry, vorafoam-flecke- ciousness. I had come home. Home to the sea from whence, more than a century before, my kinsmen had, without fanfare, departed to embrace an unknown future and destiny. And now, tonight, as an emissary from long ago, I had come on their behalf to cast alms upon the waters and pay homage to that wellspring of our beginnings. I could no longer deny myself nor the tumultuous invitation. Pressing down the study latch, I yielded to Military News GLEN D. SMITH John the night in a sudden impulse that engulfed me in a swirling rush of wind and sound and fury.

WhsV'i'f hiust have been like for thiemr,Ii,ving, as they did, tiilfS1 stones throw from all of this on the n hillside nearby. And on the other nights, when the sea gods slumbered in the depths, a more tranquil scene must have beckoned; here, and to the east where chalk cliffs fall away into the watery deep that reaches to another, distant shore. They must have known that the sea is calm tonight. The tide is full, the moon likes fair upon the straits; on the French coast the light gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, glimmering and vast, out of the tranquil bay. Even then, the mystery of it all must have compelled them to come to the window (as I), for sweet is the night air! ... from the long line of spray where the sea "meets the moon blanchd sand ... flint-strew- in His farewell will be held on March 22, 1998 at 12:50 p.m. at the Sharon Drive LDS Church House (7825 West 3360 South).
