Or roaving the carefree meadows, dancing whimsically here and there. Sensuousness: .....INDIGO Drawing out slow delight - Sipping exhotic liqueurs and holding fervent communion with every drop, Making delectable every easy breath, Finding a thrill in each and every prick of pleasure or pain That fill to the brim the thirsty sensual cup. Sterility: ....BLUE With little hope for better things, I sit here quietly in my bottomless solitude And blot out all memory and all ambition from my mind. Life seems forlorn; It all seems sad. Yet, we live on, Step by step, Breath by breath, And heartbeat by heartbeat; But all in vain, for I cannot pass on the torch, and it shall soon expire. Death: .....BLACK A solemn procession moves slowly down a narrow morbid lane: Men and women in black, mourning the passing of a loved one And all is lightless oblivion - all is darkness uncolored. Existence has ceased to be - all that is: is nothing. *************************************************************************** ____________________________________________________ THE BOOK END, by Alva Rogers, continued from page 6. a young Communist organizer's attempt to unite the workers in a gigantic strike against the all powerful fruit growers' organizations. As Gide says, it is "...a novel in which the most urgent and bitterly argued of social questions is presented in a wholly impartial light, with a profound feeling for psychology and a very sure artistic sense that leads to compelling simplifications and formalizations, thus transforming this picture of a strike and all its complicated issues into something bold and legendary..." @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Random Notes on Atomic Bombs and Socialist States by Art Saha I got home last Tuesday, and after spending the rest of the week at our cabin, got back last Tuesday. I really had a nice time at Dunk's - he has quite a few of the ideas we have, and I made a stab at explaining our Futurian ideas to him. It's a fitting commentary on this capitalist world that it took a far before anyone was willing to advance the money necessary to develope atomic power. (You can find out more than I could tell you about the theories behind the fission of the atom in any good text book on corpustular physics. I imagine the principles used in the bomb are similar to those previously used in smashing the atom.) Maybe someday there actually will be a world where developments of this nature are made simply because they will benefit humanity - rather than just a minority. Its fairly obvious that atomic energy would never have been developed in a world at peace (except perhaps in the Soviet Union) continued on page 11) 8
