Frenchman and an American—rare birds in that
part of the world. Colonel Sullivan had started, a
few days too late, to make Zoji Pass and do a win-
ter's shooting in those fastnesses which, if they
would but yield the head of an Ovis Ammon, would
be for him Paradise enow. Note the distinction
between Colonel Sullivan's ideal retirement and
that of Omar Khayyam. The inhospitable wilds
of bleakest mountains, a gun, an arduous chase of
hermit brutes—that is one. The other
"A book of verses underneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou
Beside me in the wilderness;
Oh! wilderness were paradise enow."
Mark particularly the absence of "Thou" in the
first ideal.
There you have the conquest of the Asia that is
luxurious or literary by the British man, who has
two natures, one that loves and builds St. James
Street and the National Museum, and one that loves
and conquers the Himalayas.
Hindoo ruins, mysteriously suggestive; a good
hotel; plenty of white people, sahibs and mem-
sahibs; golf grounds; gay marriage-boats on the
river boulevard; shops overflowing with fascinating
goods and oily smiles of the merchants; a mereti-
cious palace rising, effective withal, from the water's
edge and hiding the Maharajah's many wives; din-
ners, all mutton because the pious ruler will not
have beef slain in his realm; a busy, comely people
filling all the bazaars; two-storied wooden houses,
