The crash of onyx upon porphyry, the dull thumping of empty coeonuuts, the shrill whistle of windmills In a gale, the yowling of tom-oats, the explosion ex-plosion of redhot bladders, the bleating bleat-ing of sheep on lonely moors, the clash of tin swords, the rattling of dumb-waiters, tho braying of jackasses, jack-asses, the snorting of hippopotamuses, tho squeaking of hautboys and bagpipes, bag-pipes, the gurgle of eut Jugulars, the cracking of sclerotic knees, tho blowing blow-ing up nnd busting of logic, tho torture and death of tho English language ... a meeting of the house of representatives repre-sentatives of the lulled States. H. L. Mencken In the Smart Set. |
