“When the shades of twilight close the day in my solitude I steal away
And a sweet familiar voice calls from the shadows of the talking walls
The talking walls bring laughter tears and pain …”
(Jim Reeves in Talking walls)
Liège-Chênée (B)
Where silence seems to rest
"Beat! beat! drums! - blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows - through doors - burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet - no happiness must he have now with his bride ..."
(W. Whitman in Beat! beat! drums!)
