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. He dreams of a lonely palm-tree, Afar in the morning-land, Consumed with unspoken longing In a waste of burning sand. After Heine.
