Try to think of history without sound. Try to imagine great battles surrounded by complete silence. Try to imagine diplomats from two opposing countries debating in silence. Suppose there had never been Roosevelt’s quiet fireside chats,
Hitler’s wild chattering,
Nero playing his fiddle,
Lincoln and his Gettysburg address,
The leadership voice of Washington at Valley Forge.
No shouts at Bunker Hill
Voices of hope echoing off the bow of the Mayflower.
History is recording sound at this very moment and slightly before and soon thereafter. What you have been saying on this day and will be saying and your words traveling through timeless space never to be quieted.
Can we play for a moment the WHAT IF game?
What
if someone had looked at the art of Adolph Hiller and praised him for
having great talent and he had become a great artist instead of a
dictator whose canvases became living pictures of battlefields and death.
What if Nero had not played a concert never to be forgotten and instead had governed with wisdom and the only flame Rome had seen were small candles around a family dinner table.
What if Lincoln had not had to make a Gettysburg
address because the leaders in both North ad South had listened to each
other and not felt obliged to settle their differences on fields of war.
What if George Washington had walked away from Valley Forge, leading his men to defeat and surrender and all the statements he made were never made and therefore his voice was never heard as President of a new nation.
Sounds! And what sounds have you filled the world with in the last hour or day or week? What words? What thoughts decent and uplifting? What thoughts indeed?
