    The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.

    This is the poem of the air,
    Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
    This is the secret of despair,
    Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
    Now whispered and revealed
    To wood and field.
