" "To leave the earth was my wish, and no will stayed my rising.

Conveying folk to weddings and to murders;
Before men left their selves of sleep, to wander
In the dark of the world like whipped beasts.

You, the village; I, the stranger; this, the road: And each is the work of all.<p> Then, not that man do more, or stop pity; but that he be Wider in living; that all his cities fly a clean flag... We have been alone too long, love; it is terribly late For the pierced feet on the water and we must not die now.
