right thing is. Every day I know I have come short of what I would like to
have done. Yet as the years pass and I see the very world itself, with its
oceans and mountains and plains, as something unfinished, a peculiar

shadows find me regretful at task?s undone, but sleep and the dawn and the
air of the morning touch me with freshening hopes. Strange things blow in
through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don?t worry about
my destiny." | |
