The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet

The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains.

Neither poetry, nor ambition, nor love have any alertness of countenance as they pass by me.
