AU REVOIR, LONDON!
THE LAMENT OF AN EXILE.
Au Revoir, London! The ship is moving, Each turn of her screws is dragging me further from you, great city of crowded loneliness, and pushing me nearer to the Land of Ind, where again must I bend my shoulders to that hoary impostor, the White Man's Burden.
Au revoir. London! But when will it be? The engines are throbbing a relentless refrain, Is it a monitory "Nev-er-a-gain, nev-er-a-gain," or the plaint of the exite: "Go-ing-a-way, go-ing-a- way?"
It is lonely in London for the. man on holiday from the outposts of the Empire! It would be im possibly lonely were it not for the Other Fellow-the Crowd. When in London I feel that there are anyway, two of us, myself and the Crowd-the Other Fellow
