BEST BROADCASTS OF 1938-39
Those are the mountains where no meadow is squared nor a
Stream straight: nor a road: nor water quiet.
The town is in those mountains : you are there !
Sound. — Cuts sharply on first word of announcer . . . Jades out to meet next sound cue.
Announcer. — {Filter 500-4,000 ... in isolation booth) You are twenty-eight miles from the eastern border. You are up on top of a town on a kind of tenement: You are out the other side the night. . . .
The sun dazzles you: not the light bulb.
You are staring out to eastward toward the sun.
Sound. — Blends imperceptibly into sounds of waking town. Dogs bark . . . horse and cart clatter over cobbles . . . women laugh and chatter.
Announcer {Continues after slight pause)
We have seen nothing and heard nothing :
Before dawn we thought we heard them :
It was the wind we heard in the valley cedars.
Sounds rise to this roof . . .
Hoofs of stabled horses : leaves :
Even the speaking of sleepers rises.
Many sleep in the one house here:
They work in the fields : sleep in the village :
The men go out at dawn ; return
To evening burning from the chimneys :
The women keep the town between.
