CHAPTER XIII

To move is to meet you every moment,

     Fellow-traveller!

 

It is to sing to the falling of your feet.

 

He whom your breath touches does not glide¹ by the shelter of the bank.

 

He spreads a reckless sail to the wind and rides the turbulent water.

 

He who throws his doors open and steps onward² receives your greeting.

 

He does not stay to count his gain or to mourn his loss; his heart beats the drum for his march, for that is to march with you every step,

 

Fellow-traveller!
