THE CALL OF THE WILD
Have you gazed on naked
grandeur vhere there’s
nothing else to gaze on,
Set pieces and drop curtain
scenes galore,
Big mountains heaved to
heaven, which the blinding
sunsets blazon,
Black canyons where the
rapids rip and roar?
Have you swept the visioned
valley with the green
stream streaking through it,
Searched the Vastness for a
something you have lost?
Have you strung youi soul
to silence? Then for God’s
sake go and do it;
Hear the challenge,'learn the
lesson, pay the cost.
Have you wandeied in the
wilderness, the sage-brush
desolation,
The bunch-grass levels where
the cattle graze?
Have yon whistled bits of
rag-time at the end
of all creation.
And learned to know the
desert’s little ways?
Have you camped upon the
foothills, have you galloped
o,e • the ranges,
Have you roamed the arid
suirtamis through and through?
Have pm chuinme'd up with
t1ie mesa? Do you know
its moods and changes?
Then list n to the wild—it’s
calling you.
Have you known tin Gieat
Wnite Silence, not a snow
gemmeb twig atjuiver?
(E e mil t tilths that shame
our soothing lies.)
Have you bVoUen trail on
snows hoe s? mushed your
huskies up the river,
Dared the unknown, ied the
way, and clutched the prize?
Have you marked the map’s
void spaces, mingled with 1
the mongrel races,
Felt the savage strength of
brute in every thevv?
And thougHi grim as hell the
worst is, can you rc und
it off with curses?
Then hearken to the Wild—
it’s wanting you.
They have cradled you i:i
custom, they heve primed
you with their preaching,
They have soaked you in
convention through and through
They have put you in a showcase;
youTe a cr« (lit to their
teaabmg —
But can’t you hear the Wild?—
it’s calling you.
Let us probe tlie silent plucea,
let us seen what luck
betide us;
Let us journey to a lonely
land L know.
There’s a whisper on the
night vvipd, there’s a star
• aglcam to guide us,
And the Wild is calling, calling
let us go.

Dorothy: I tlrnk the little nine
hole course is more difficult than
the eighteen holt course.
! Ted: Why do you think so?
Dorothy : W’eli, where there are
eighteen holes it must be easier
to get tiie ball into one of them.
