He bowed his head in content till the last noise of the complaining snow had died away, and he knew his son was beyond recall. Then his hand crept out in haste to the wood. It alone stood betwixt him and the eternity which yawned upon him. At last the measure of his life was a handful of faggots. One by one they would go to feed the fire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and just so, step by step, death would creep upon him. When the last stick had surrendered up its heat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the frost would begin to gather strength. First his feet would yield, then his hands; and the numbness would travel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slowly, from the extremities to the body. His head would fall forward upon his knees, and he would rest. It was easy. All men must die.
He did not complain. It was the way of life, and it was just. He had been born close to the earth, close to the earth had he lived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the law thereof was not new to him. It was the law of all flesh. Nature was not kindly to the flesh. She had no concern for that concrete thing called the individual. Her interest lay in the species, the race. This was the deepest abstraction old Koskoosh's barbaric mind was capable of, but he grasped it firmly. He saw it exemplified in all life. The rise of the sap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the bursting greenness of the willow bud,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fall of the yellow leaf��in this alone was told the whole history. But one task did nature set the individual. Did he not perform it, he died. Did he perform it, it was all the same, he died. Nature did not care; there were plenty who were obedient, and it was only the obedience in this matter, not the obedient, which lived and lived always. The tribe of Koskoosh was very old. The old men he had known when a boy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had known old men before them. Therefore it was true that the tribe lived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that it stood for the obedience of all its members,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], way down into the forgotten past, whose very resting places were unremembered. They did not count; they were episodes.
