North American wilds. Had he a coat 
of arms, they would bear the symbols of 
lonely lakes, silent mountains, laurelled 
dusky gorges, mazy thickets of tamarack, 
gloomy cypress swamps, wild sweet 
woods of birch and hemlock, reedy 
morasses, solitary brakes. And over the 
top of the escutcheon there should be a 
star. For the deer is of the night, and 
he most adequately expresses to us the 
mystery of the darkness and the loneli- 
ness and the strange beauty of the night.
