Who
can
look
into
the
mind
of
the
Wolf?
Who
can
show
us
his
wellspring
of
motive?
Why
should
he
still
cling
to
a
place
of
endless
tribulation?
It
could
not
be
because
he
knew
no
other
country,
for
the
region
is
limitless,
food
is
everywhere,
and
he
was
known
at
least
as
far
as
Selkirk.
Nor
could
his
motive
be
revenge.
No
animal
will
give
up
its
whole
life
to
seeking
revenge;
that
evil
kind
of
mind
is
found
in
man
alone.
The
brute
creation
seeks
for
peace.
There
is
then
but
one
remaining
bond
to
chain
him,
and
that
the
strongest
claim
that
anything
can
own--the
mightiest
force
on
earth.
The
Wolf
is
gone.
The
last
relic
of
him
was
lost
in
the
burning
Grammar
School,
but
to
this
day
the
sexton
of
St.
Boniface
Church
avers
that
the
tolling
bell
on
Christmas
Eve
never
fails
to
provoke
that
weird
and
melancholy
Wolf-cry
from
the
wooded
graveyard
a
hundred
steps
away,
where
they
laid
his
Little
Jim,
the
only
being
on
earth
that
ever
met
him
with
the
touch
of
love.
