Waiting for the Echo: a poetic dialogue from Joshua Alan Sturgill
The Roll of the Drums: I was once at St. Paul’s, at some service for the dead. We heard many noble things, the notes of great music. And at the end, the rubric on the service, paper directed us to stand. We stood and listened, and looked perplexed. Then there was a faint sense as is the air were troubled, as it there were a beating and fluttering of mighty wings, high in the mist of the dome. A sense more than a sound; but it grew and swelled, and so increased and prevailed that it became the roll of the drums introducing the Dead March. And then ten thousand wept—at this ruffle on stout parchment.
