Excerpt from A Modern Ulysses, Vol. 2 of 3: Being the Life, Loves, Adventures, and Strange Experiences of Horace Durand
The chimes are out of tune; yet without the harshness of discord. It always seems to me as if there were tintinnabulary tears in their tremulous voices. Let no one ever dream Of tuning these sorrowful bells. They have reminiscences of a day and night of riot and rape and massacre. The echoes of these sad memories Slumber in the belfry tower. The chimes awaken them to mingle their solemn whispers with the music.
