175 페이지 - You make my feet heavy with burdens and gifts, and my moccasins will grow old in carrying them, but the Book is not among them. When I tell my poor, blind people after one more snow, in the big council, that I did not bring the Book, no word will be spoken by our old men or by our young braves. One by one they will rise up and go out in silence. My people will die in darkness, and they will go on the long path to the other hunting grounds.
228 페이지 - There was a young lady of Riga, Who went for a ride on a tiger: They returned from the ride, With the lady inside, And a smile on the Face of the tiger.
175 페이지 - When I tell my poor blind people after one more snow, in the big council, that I did not bring the book, no word will be spoken by our old men or by our young braves. One by one they will rise up and go out in silence. My people will die in darkness, and they will go on a long path to other hunting grounds. No white man will go with them, and no White Man's Book to make the way plain. I have no more words.
174 페이지 - I came with one eye partly opened, for more light for my people, who sit in darkness. I go back with both eyes closed. How can I go back blind, to my blind people?
174 페이지 - I made my way to you with strong arms, through many enemies and strange lands, that I might carry back much to them. I go back with both arms broken and empty. The two fathers who came with us — the braves of many winters and wars — we leave asleep here by your great water and wigwam.
174 페이지 - We came to you over a trail of many moons from the setting sun. You were the friend of our fathers who have all gone the long way. We came with our eyes partly opened for more light for our people who sit in darkness. We go back with our eyes closed. How can we go back blind to our blind people? We made our way to you with strong arms, through many enemies and strange lands that we might carry back much to them. We go back with empty and broken arms.
73 페이지 - Your head and your heart — Keep up, Your hands and your heels — Keep down, Your knees...
174 페이지 - Our people sent us to get the white man's Book of Heaven. You took us where they worship the Great Spirit with candles, but the Book was not there. You showed us images of good spirits, and pictures of the good land beyond, but the Book is not among them. We are going back the long sad trail to our people.
