dumping of dirt…cars; the triple blows of vulcan hammers。 I can also

smell the fire…pots; the tar and cement。 So I have a vivid idea of

mighty labours in steel and stone; and I believe that I am acquainted

with all the fiendish noises which can be made by man or machinery。 The

whack of heavy falling bodies; the sudden shivering splinter of chopped

logs; the crystal shatter of pounded ice; the crash of a tree hurled to

the earth by a hurricane; the irrational; persistent chaos of noise made

by switching freight…trains; the explosion of gas; the blasting of

stone; and the terrific grinding of rock upon rock which precedes the

collapse……all these have been in my touch…experience; and contribute to

my idea of Bedlam; of a battle; a waterspout; an earthquake; and other

enormous accumulations of sound。

Touch brings me into contact with the traffic and manifold activity of

the city。 Besides the bustle and crowding of people and the nondescript

grating and electric howling of street…cars; I am conscious of

exhalations from many different kinds of shops; from automobiles; drays;

horses; fruit stands; and many varieties of smoke。

Odours strange and musty;

The air sharp and dusty

With lime and with sand;

That no one can stand;

Make the street impassable;

The people irascible;

Until every one cries;

As he trembling goes

With the sight of his eyes

And the scent of his nose

Quite stopped……or at least much diminished……

〃Gracious! when will this city be finished?〃'B'

The city is interesting; but the tactual silence of the country is

always most wele after the din of town and the irritating concussions

of the train。 How noiseless and undisturbing are the demolition; the

repairs and the alterations; of nature! With no sound of hammer or saw
