Centauri Page 13 O fly with me through blue dew skies / where misty frogs with star shone eyes / appraise our flight Ah! there the air is cooler still / than on the breast of a brown hill / at dim twilight We'll bid the half-crest moon "hello" / and watch the mortals move below / on cross patch leas / We'll watch the seaweed twine with ships / and toss when oceanic lips / answer the breeze How little earth and mortals seem / from blue dew skies where dreams undreamed / are yours and mine. Shirley L. Chapper THE UNNAMED -continued from page 8- magazines may yet have to change their title to True Story, and sell hack issues as history text books, as Charlie Horning once predicted! And since it's very probable that victory will be in sight by the time this sees print, let me predict here and now that the armistice and the year that follows won't make any great difference to fandom. Lots of fans, for one thing, are in the service for longer than duration plus six months; those who aren't will be released and seep back into civilian life gradually, and I suspect at least half of them will never again fan on a large scale. The tremendous upsurge in fandom that most have been expecting, come the peaceful days once more, isn't likely to burst upon us overnight, if it ever comes. As for the prozines, that's a matter one had better not ponder upon. When paper is once more available in unlimited quantities, and about twenty publishing houses start to find out what sort of luck they can have with a few pulp stf magazines apiece -- well, it's better not to worry oneself with the seamy side of life. ---oOo---
