TO
MY FRIENDS IN SANTIAGO
RED AND WHITE
AND
IN MEMORY OF
A BRINDLED BULLDOG


I have to thank Señor F. de Arteaga y Pereira, Reader of Spanish in the University of Oxford, for the Spanish version of Heine's poem which appears in Chapter XXIX.


A lone pine stands in the Northland

On a bald and barren height.

He sleeps, by the snows enfolded

In a mantle of wintry white.
