The Journey One day you finally knewwhat you
had to do, and began,though the voices around
youkept shoutingtheir bad advice --though the
whole housebegan to trembleand you felt the old
tugat your ankles."Mend my life!"each voice
cried.But you didn't stop.You knew what you had
to do,though the wind priedwith its stiff
fingersat the very foundations,though their
melancholywas terrible.It was already
lateenough, and a wild night,and the road full
of fallenbranches and stones.But little by
little,as you left their voices behind,the
stars began to burnthrough the sheets of
clouds,and there was a new voicewhich you
slowlyrecognized as your own,that kept you
companyas you strode deeper and deeperinto the
world,determined to dothe only thing you could
do --determined to savethe only life you could
save.
