From time to time the \'icars spend two or three da\s together at Retreat House, away from the noise and business of the city. Where the\ can pool their experiences and thresh out their difficulties, ciuestioning themselves, exploring their thoughts, feeling their wav towards how our fragmented society can best be reconciled and the whole nature of man fulfilled.) * * * Under the thrumming, the blare of the city. Sounds cacophonous, dissonant, jarring, a hidden harnumy stays to be recovered, .As under the crested pitch-battle of the seas Deep down the gold is lying, the old treasure. Or, taking the soundings of dark earth, Si)ring uncovers a concord, the buried music; .\ theme proposed in the ground, discussed In variation by bird and daffodil, .\nd taken up at last among the branches So all the rivalling .sounds of human life .Arc reconciled in music.
