Although this haiku from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) is quite simple, it's also quite touching in that the speaker and his companion hold hands "In the steepest mile" of their path. This is an obvious metaphor for weathering challenges together, and while it's not a thought original to CAS, he does express it with admirable directness.
