The mist denies the mountains,

The wind forbids the sea;

But, mist or wind, I go to find

The day that calls to me.

 

For there are mornings yonder,

And noons that call and call;

And there’s a day, with arms outheld

That waits beyond them all.

Let him that loves his ease, his ease,

Keep close and house him fair;

He’ll still be a stranger to the merry thrill of danger

And the joy of the open air

 

 Richard Hovey

 

 

 

And as for me, let what will come, I can receive no damage from it, unless I think it a calamity; and it is in my power to think it none, if I so decide.

Do not dare to live without some clear intention toward which your living shall be bent. Mean to be something with all your might.
