The beauties of the countryside are hidden by appeals to buy somebody’s pickles, or to smoke somebody’s cigarettes, or to wash with somebody else’s soap. Our public parks and buildings bristle with curt orders, warnings and threats—“Keep off the Grass,” “Stand Clear of the Gates,” “No Smoking—Penalty 40s.” and the rest. Could not the directors, if not of our destinies at any rate of our deport- ment, be induced to sugar their peremp- tory pills a little? We have been told that music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. Let the powers that be call to their aid the music of words—poetry, the language of the gods. How forcefully and gracefully, for in- stance, “Stand Clear of the Gates” might be twisted by the tame bard of the under- ground railways! Passengers in the com- pany’s lifts might be cautioned in words, perhaps, like these: Smashed limbs, torn flesh and broken pates Are caused by standing near these gates. The cold, official “No Smoking— Penalty 40s.” might blossom forth as: Now, smoking of all kinds—tobacco and bacon!— Is strictly prohibited here. If you do it you'll rue it, or I’m much mistaken, And lose forty shillings, old dear! Most of us have read “Beware of Pick- pockets,” and promptly forgotten the advice. We should be less likely to for- get this metrical version: Sweet zephyrs softly steal— And so do evil men. Your pockets you should feel Now and then. The snappy couplet: « Don’t be a fool, of sense bereft! Drive carefully, and to the left is just the sort of thing needed to catch the eye and penetrate the understanding of the traffic troublers.
