l. 28-31.—Rising inflections throughout, even on calumet, upon which word the pupil often errs.
l. 30.—The Peace-Pipe is not a subordinate idea; it is an idea coördinate with calumet.
l. 32.—Observe the rhythmic change and its meaning.
l. 33.—Falling inflection on morning. Lines 32 and 33 contain the general statement, and
l. 34-39 contain the particular. When we perceive this latter fact we will use the rising inflection at the end of each line until we reach heaven in line 39, when, of course, we shall have the falling.
l. 37.—Subordinate.
l. 40.—Observe that broke is the emphatic word, not against. Rising inflection on heaven.
l. 42-46.—It is an open question whether we should use a rising or a falling inflection at the end of each of these lines. To use the falling would convey the idea that each detail was important; to use the rising, to lay the stress upon the whole. (See Momentary Completeness, [page 61], et seq.) The former reading seems the better.
l. 51.—Falling inflection on Behold it.
