Helen Keller Speaks Out (Listening Text)

In this room sits a remarkable woman. She's Miss Helen Keller. She does not see
the room, or the book she's reading. She sees nothing. She doesn't hear the
rustling of the curtains after her. She hears nothing. She is deaf... Deaf and blind.
But if you enter a room she will know it. Your lightest footfall will tell her you
are coming. It will even tell her who you are, if she knows you. As she knows
her old friend Polly Thomson. Polly has been with Helen Keller forty years. For
half of these she has been Helen's only companion. Helen's eyes and ears on the
world. She talks to Helen by a finger system in which each letter has a sign...like
this. Reaching out beyond her dark and silentest night, Helen depends most on
touch. Two other senses contain. There is taste and there is smell. Scent... the
scent of objects and places and people tells Helen much that we learn with eyes
and ears. But her hand is her chief link with the outer world, with Polly, with
Anne, the part-time helper. With everyone she encounters. With her hand she
reads Anne's lips. She answers with her voice. It is an unnatural voice, and it’s
her great soul. For all her years of effort Helen has never learned to speak clear.
This isn't strange. For since she was a baby she hasn't heard a word spoken nor
seen lips forming one. But let Helen, with Polly's help, tell you. (Helen
speaking) : "It is not blindness or deafness that bring me my darkest hours. It is
the acute disappointment in not being able to speak normally. Longingly I feel
how much more good I may have done, if I had only acquired normal speech.
But out of this sorrowful experience I understand more clearly all human
striving, thwarted ambitions, and the infinite capacity to cope.
