To Make Up a Single String
They entwined to make up a single string, stronger together to find the sweet tones. Vibrating lightly in the soft movements, the string found it easy to hold as one. The quick hard stress of a stormy passage then put sharp pressure upon the twining. The string thinned and bounced and fought the pressure; the tension threatening the whole bit by bit. It might hold tight to its interweaving, lasting through the rough stretches in one piece. Or the song might come to a snapping stop with flying halves curling away goodbye. Strength is tested true only through the strain. Harry W. Yeatts Jr. |
