I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made. Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow. Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the crickets sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavement grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
William Butler Yeats

Galau, Umat and Lutong sat together after the evening meal. They knew there would be an important meeting the next day. “I shall ask Paor and Senen to carve a memorial pole of our late father,”
Galau told his brother. They are both good workmen and they are of good families. We can share the payment we will have to give them.” “Why should you order the memorial pole for our father? “ Umat asked. “The new chief should do it. I think I will ask Jali and Galang, they are better workmen. And they are both rich, so I don’t have to pay too much.”
Galau looked at his brother, surprised, “I’m the eldest brother,” he said, “of course I will be the next chief.” Father didn’t say so! Umat said, “Just because you’re a little older than I am, why should you be chief? I am taller than you are and braver.” This was true. Umat was a tall, strong man. He had often been in fight and war. He was brave and cruel. .
