    For the wander-thirst is on me
    And my soul is in Cathay.

The poorer and the baser you appear,
The more you look through still.

Strenua nos exercet inertia, navibus atque
Quadrigis petimus bene vivere; quod petis hic est.]

One who journeying
Along a way he knows not, having crossed
A place of drear extent, before him sees
A river rushing swiftly toward the deep,
And all its tossing current white with foam,
And stops and turns, and measures back his way.
