Ultima Thule.
It was not for The arctic gold and a claim at the
end of the great white trail,
has yet for the arctic Core- - for a map of the floe
and a graph of the gale:
But the guest came out of a primitive urge in
The of the last lone verge and the desert
live the blood of our Consinon birth
end of the rolling earth
For this he abandoned the green of the world
the lakes and the hills and the leas,
and rivers of mid summer nations, and banks with
the Corn and the vine and The trues
and the genial zones of the plants rains, and the
belt of the planets flomers;
for this he abandoned all cities - their f singing
householdr.ou
and sunsets and forevers.
Onward, north of the Northern Lights, hungry and cold
and alone,
Eternity under his frozen feet and the snows of
the ages unknown,
with never the boom of the purple seas, nor
ever a mountain of fire,
North of the Plain of the Thousand slain 1 who
were dead of the same desire !__
