Sweep the strongest wind you can, Shingabis is still your man.
Hey, for life, and ho, for bliss, Who so free as Shingabis?
Then the north wind came into the wigwam and sat by the fire, but little Shingabus did not seem to notice him.
He only stirred the fire till the flames leapt up in the air and sang more loudly his brave little song.
Presently it was too hot for the north wind, so he left the lodge and went away.
At night, when Tecumseh lay sleepless, looking up through the smoke-hole in the wigwam at the stars twinkling in the sky, he thought of brave little Chingubus.
Even when he was frightened, he did not cry at night.
His mother had told him that bad Indians might hear him and come out of the dark forest.
The hoot of an owl might be the signal to hidden foes.
He never heard it at night without a quickened beating of the heart.
The night breeze, laden with the scent of the sleeping woods, softly moving the flap of the wigwam, startled him, but he made no outcry.
Was he not the son of a chief, and was he not to be a great warrior himself?
So he would fall asleep to be awakened by the early rays of the sun and the stir of life about the camp.
End of The Birth of Tecumseh by Norman Osgurd
APPEARANCE AND REALITY by Bertrand Russell
Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?
This question, which at first sight might not seem difficult, is really one of the most difficult that can be asked.
when we have realized the obstacles in the way of a straightforward and confident answer we shall be well launched on the study of philosophy for philosophy is merely the attempt to answer such ultimate questions not carelessly and dogmatically as we do in ordinary life and even in the sciences but critically after exploring all that makes such questions puzzling
and after realizing all the vagueness and confusion that underlie our ordinary ideas.
In daily life we assume as certain many things which, on a closer scrutiny, are found to be so full of apparent contradictions that only a great amount of thought enables us to know what it is that we really may believe.
