PaulBarfoot said at 9:53 a.m. on Jun 20, 2007: I understand the triumph and the truth Wrought into these walls of rugged stone. They are a miracle of patient hands, They are a victory of suffering, a paean of pain; All pangs of death, all cries of birth, Are in the mute, moss-covered stones; They are eloquent to my hands. O beautiful, blind stones, inarticulate and dumb! In the deep gloom of their hearts there is a gleam Of the primeval sun which looked upon them When they were begotten. So in the heart of man shines forever A beam from the everlasting sun of God. Rude and unresponsive are the stones; Yet in them divine things lie concealed; I hear their imprisoned chant:--
- The Song of the Stone Wall by Helen Keller 1910

Wlk68 said at 12:13 p.m. on Jun 20, 2007: Thanks everybody. A special thank you to Paul for the lovely poem. I had no idea that Helen Keller wrote poetry. That's pretty cool!
PaulBarfoot said at 12:19 p.m. on Jun 20, 2007: It's only a fragment of the whole poem. The entire thing can be seen at the Project Gutenberg site http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/12093 We have a copy of the original 1910 publication in our library and it is illustrated with photographs of Keller with her hands on the wall she writes about. It is a very interesting piece and your picture made me think of it immediately.
