English:
Within 5 years of Robert Service's departure in 1912, the local press referred to his rented cabin as a "shrine". It became Yukon's foremost tourist attraction virtually from the day it was abandoned. Maintained, altered and embellished by local service groups, the Klondike Bard's cabin has come to symbolize the legacy of the Klondike Gold Rush:
"Have you suffered, starved and triumphed, grovelled down, yet grasped at glory. Grown bigger in the bigness of the whole?"
(from The Call of the Wild, Robert Service)
French:
? peine cinq ans apr le d?part de Robert Service en 1912, la presse locale qualifiait sa cabane lou?e de "lieu de p?rlerinage". Apr avoir ?t? abandonn?e, la cabane est devenue presque aussit?t la principale attraction touristique du Yukon. Entretenue, modiffi?e et embellie par groupes locaux, la cabane du barde Klondike en est venue ? symbolier l'h?rtiage de la ru?e vers l'or du Klondike:
"As-tu souffert, connu la faim et triomph?, ramp? etPourtant connu la glorie, Grandi dans la grandeur del'univers?"
(Traduction libre d'un extrait de "The Call of the Wild" de Robert Service)
