His own greediness killed the tiger; but the hunter got the Government reward just the same.—Native Proverb.
[Who hath desired the Sea — the immense and contemptuous surges?
The shudder, the stumble, the swerve ere the star-stabbing bow-spirit emerges —
The orderly clouds of the Trades and the ridged roaring sapphire thereunder —
Unheralded cliff-lurking flaws and the head-sails’ low-volleying thunder?
His Sea is no wonder the same — his Sea and the same in each wonder —
His Sea that his being fulfils?
So and no otherwise — so and no otherwise Hill-men desire their Hills!]
