last words/Red Cloud aka Makhpia-sha

derniers mots du livre de Dan O'Brien que je lis depuis des semaines, "The Indian Agent", suite de "The Contract Surgeon" que j'ai cité précédemment

Between them lay a body but the men looked at each other. [...]  
... an old man, wrapped in a shaby blanket with a dirty shawl covering his grey hair. [...] 
... and when Red Cloud pulled the scarf away to reveal the face of Clearance Looking Dog, a ghastly wail rose and filled the field of death. [...]
The terrible wail frightened McGillicuddy and his eyes searched for the source. But when he looked to Red Cloud, the old chief's lips were pursed and silent against the cold. My God! The wail increased in intensity and Red Cloud's eyes went wide and awestruck. My God. It's me.

pour le son, myspace.com/redcloud - for the homonimy and today's native voice
Red Cloud
that's the real Red Cloud, above
and the real Valentine McGillycuddy
