FROM THE DISTANT RIDGE
Sitting Bull to Rising Torrent: The figure, silhouetted against the western sky, wheels in the afterglow. Its gaze is on the verdant valley where the Wigwam stands. Its back is to the Great Beyond—and it is seldom so. Sitting Bull has heard the voice of Rising Torrent. The silver rain falls on the parched earth. . . . Rising Torrent—beloved of the Wigwam, your voice is the silver rain and the soul of Sitting Bull is refreshed. Perchance, some day, when the quiver is empty and the last arrow sped, the lonely Sioux will come to the shadow of the Wigwam to rest awhile. . . . Little. one, look upward once again to the figure on the distant ridge. The face of the Sioux is turned again to the Great Beyond. . . . “Sink, red sun,” he says, “and speed the night, for after night—the Dawn.”
