The Story of the Exploring Expedition Conducted by Leonidas Hubbard, Jr.
Here, b'y, is the issue of our plighted troth. Why I am the scribe and not you, God knows: and you have his secret. D.W.
"There's no sense in going further - it's the edge of cultivation,"
So they said, and I believed it...
Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated - so:
"Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the
Ranges -
Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
- Kipling's "The Explorer."
