On the eighth day of the month of August, after a month-long journey, the protagonist and his companions reach the edge of the world. The world is round, and from its edge, they can see the other seven days of the month - and the other seven months of the year. They also see the other seven directions in which the world is round.

The protagonist is inspired by these sights to write a poem about the roundness of the world. He shares his poem with a friend, and they both find comfort in its words.; 8vo; $7.00.
