1The Heart of Music
3sometimes sounds beneath the bow of the violin to-day. The human note of pain entered its pulses then, and it has never lost it, through all its long journey up the years. It carries with it yet the memory of lost, mad days and nights beneath the hot and languid skies of the Old World. It remembers the sick sweetness of its own strange song before the altars in Nineveh and Tyre, and the mourning melody that it knew when the Israelites played in bondage. Through the good days of its destiny it has not forgotten those few thousands of years when men worshipped Ashtoroth and the world was on fire.
