Bugle and the Star}[28th June 1970]
28th June 1970.
1.10 pm
I remember,
from a chance pattern on a bugle, a time several summers ago: The [School]
Tattoo, ending in darkness with Crimond* and the Last Post; and as the band
grew quieter and the first notes of the Bugle rang out, I saw amidst the
blazing, whispering firmament of stars one star that sank into the South,
moving with such silent, assured power between the stars that I shall never
forget that time: a satellite spinning soundlessly through the heavens and the
Last Post, to vanish behind the trees.
*[The Lord’s my
Shepherd]
