Excerpt from The Book of Gold, and Other Poems
What! Sell a life-long friend so cheap? He cried. I'd sooner seek an air-hole in the ice And drown myself he vowed - and took the price. Then, with a smile so quaint it well might move Another's tears: Who knows but this may prove The nucleus of a fortune? Thanks 1 he said, Flung the black cape once more above his head, And went his way.
