I found that he had just been writing of the relations of men, the rarer moments of them; and queerly enough, I found that night more of the master of Walden in his work. The Dakotan is twenty. All summer he has been doing some original thinking on the subject of Sound.
The Roman Catholic, forbidden by his Church to avail himself of the divorce laws, marries as freely as the South Dakotan Presbyterians who can change partners with a facility that scandalizes the old world; and were his Church to dare a further step towards Christianity and enjoin celibacy on its laity as well as on its clergy, marriages would still be contracted for the sake of domesticity by perfectly obedient sons and daughters of the Church.
Make your days interpret the best of you. Go to it with all your might. Feel us behind you rooting strong and hurry back." It was a rainy Fall night. The Dakotan came in barefooted with two large bundles of copy.
I asked the Dakotan what the Lake was saying. "It isn't it's listening." It made me think at once of the first movement of Beethoven's sonata, called Appassionata.
She must bring down the spirit of the sun and blend it with her own for wheat partakes of the alkahest. Wheat is a master, an aristocrat. The Dakotan said that once when he was on the Open Road through the northwest, he slept for two days in a car of wheat, and that it was a bath of power.... We thought we would make our beds in wheat, thereafter but that would be sacrilege.
When I was his age, Tyndall was the big voice on this subject; yet we have come to think in all humbleness that Tyndall only touched his toes in the stream. The Dakotan has spent the last few years afield. He is a tramp, a solitaire, a student at the sources of life. Things have been made easier for him here.
The disinclination of many of the Indians to work gradually produced dissension among themselves and they formed into two parties the white man's party, those that believed in cultivating the soil; and the Indian party, a sort of young-man-afraid-of-work association, who believed it beneath the dignity of the noble Dakotan to perform manual labor.
One day at Chapel, neither the Abbot nor the Dakotan appeared. The Columbian had left us. I looked up to see two young girls and another there. One of the papers brought in that day was upon the joining of two rivers. Where they came together was a whirlpool, a tremendous vortex that hushed all surrounding Nature.
In northern China the Buddhist priests sit out in evening, listening raptly to kung, the 'all-harmonious sound of the Hoang-ho rushing by. One longs to be the intimate of such meditations." I first heard of the Dakotan at a time when I was not quite so interested in the younger generation. A woman friend out in his country wrote me, and sent on some of his work.
The Malagasy believe in three souls, the Algonquin in two, the Dakotan in three, the native of Orissa in four. Since a fetish, strictly so called, is the incarnation of a power in some given object, it must be preceded by this rude belief in spirits and shades.
