    Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.

    A tanned skin is something more than respectable, and perhaps olive is a fitter color than white for a man,—a denizen of the woods. “The pale white man!” I do not wonder that the African pitied him.

    The river knows the way to the sea;
    Without a pilot it runs and falls,
    Blessing all lands with its charity.
