To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their darkness partakes of mystery. They come up out of our subconsciousness. There are clear sounds in the sensitive whispering gallery 80 Digitized by VjOOQ IC BABK SPEECH UPON THE HABP 81 of the soul, but the language needs translation. They indicate tongues, but we are in the room of the unlearned. God's word in the original Hebrew of the Old Testament or in the subtle Greek of the New does not more invitingly call for intelligent translation than these unknown tongues of our deepened life ...and character. The most jarring dis- cords of life come when these dark speeches are unheeded, or misdirected or harshened. The pro- foundest harmonies of life are found when they are set to their proper music, and so the Psalmist touches upon real philosophy of the higher life when he is inspired to put it in just the way he does, ^^I will show my dark speech upon the harp." The beat, the rhythm, and the play of ex- pression and the spirit-stirring effect of the harp felicitously suggest the thought of that one who, in the phrase of ^^In Memoriam," ^^beat his music out." And we recall here that quoted from Joubert in a letter of the late Sir George Grove — ^^ the lyre is a winged instrument and must trans- port." There is no more timely application of the prayer " Lighten our darkness " in these Divinity School years than to this darkness of speech that comes out of our innermost searchings.
