Afoot and light-hearted I take to the

                        open road,

           Heartily ,free, the world before me,

          The long brown path before me leading

                  wherever I choose.

           Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I

                   myself am good fortune,

              Henceforth I whimper no more,

              postpone no more, need nothing,

          Done with indoor complaints, libraries,

                    querulous criticisms,

         Strong and content I travel the open

                          road.

              'Leaves of Grass' - Walt Whitman
