The Silken Tassel/Messages
Messages
Heart to heart can tell its secrets, mind to mind can speak in silence,
Unheard thrillings travel o’er a million leagues of lands and seas;
All the world is full of voices floating on the air for ever,
And all space is charged with dumb innumerable messages;
Ears can hear and heart can feel the speaking silence in all places,
This wide dome is not a hollow, nor is dead this blowing breeze.

Let Marconi’s aerial agent record through the air and water
Messages in its machines of a hundred various wheels and keys;
And the human brains find out an airy thread to link in triumph
All the rolling spheres and know their secret-working energies:
Heart to heart yet tells its secret, mind to mind yet speaks in silence,
Man can hear and know without them, aye, and even more than these!
