I remained to dream the nightmare out to the end, and to show my loyalty to Kurtz once more. Destiny. My destiny! Droll thing life is that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself that comes too late a crop of unextinguishable regrets. I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine.
Harkey moved the publication of a monthly, The Revivalist, which Synod, however, declared "inexpedient." Through the endeavors of Kurtz a committee was appointed to bring in a report on the "New Measures," which was referred back to the committee. In 1844 Synod resolved to issue an "Abstract of the Doctrines and Practise of the Ev. Luth. Synod of Maryland."
Every month we get notices like this, of the deaths of old settlers who have gone to the ends of the earth, but this notice was peculiar in that it said: "One year ago our lamented townsman deposited with the firm of Cross & Kurtz, the popular undertakers and dealers in Indian goods and general merchandise, $100 to cover his funeral expenses, and another hundred to provide that a huge boulder be rolled over his grave on which he desired the following unusual inscription: 'Horace P. Sampson, Born Dec. 6, 1840, and died ." And is not this a rare fellow, my lord?
She got in one day and kicked up a row about those miserable rags I picked up in the storeroom to mend my clothes with. I wasn't decent. At least it must have been that, for she talked like a fury to Kurtz for an hour, pointing at me now and then. I don't understand the dialect of this tribe. Luckily for me, I fancy Kurtz felt too ill that day to care, or there would have been mischief.
Kurtz lacked restraint in the gratification of his various lusts, that there was something wanting in him some small matter which, when the pressing need arose, could not be found under his magnificent eloquence. Whether he knew of this deficiency himself I can't say. I think the knowledge came to him at last only at the very last.
Kurtz was a 'universal genius, but even a genius would find it easier to work with 'adequate tools intelligent men. He did not make bricks why, there was a physical impossibility in the way as I was well aware; and if he did secretarial work for the manager, it was because 'no sensible man rejects wantonly the confidence of his superiors. Did I see it? I saw it. What more did I want?
Hoped it was not true. Mr. Kurtz was... I felt weary and irritable. Hang Kurtz, I thought. I interrupted him by saying I had heard of Mr. Kurtz on the coast. 'Ah! So they talk of him down there, he murmured to himself. Then he began again, assuring me Mr. Kurtz was the best agent he had, an exceptional man, of the greatest importance to the Company; therefore I could understand his anxiety.
'Close the shutter, said Kurtz suddenly one day; 'I can't bear to look at this. I did so. There was a silence. 'Oh, but I will wring your heart yet! he cried at the invisible wilderness. "We broke down as I had expected and had to lie up for repairs at the head of an island. This delay was the first thing that shook Kurtz's confidence.
"Get out your mule, and go for Dr. Gladby. If he isn't home, get Dr. Kurtz. Hurry, Rad!" "I's mighty sorry, Massa Tom," answered the colored man, "but I cain't hurry, nohow." "Why not?" "Because Boomerang done gone lame, an' he won't run. I'll go mahse'f, but I cain't take dat air mule." "Never mind. I'll go in the Butterfly," decided Tom quickly.
I went no more near the remarkable man who had pronounced a judgment upon the adventures of his soul on this earth. The voice was gone. What else had been there? But I am of course aware that next day the pilgrims buried something in a muddy hole. "And then they very nearly buried me. "However, as you see, I did not go to join Kurtz there and then. I did not.
