(1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) ones face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought. Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice. Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome* and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making -- the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft under the (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves.
