"To cruise the earth, to sight -sight, and not getting satisfied- new lands and seas and people and ideas, and see them all for the first time, see them all as it for the last time, with a long look, and then to close the eyelids and feel the riches settling within you quietly, stormly as (riches) desire, until time sieves them delicately so as the most prominent of all your joys and bitterness settles down- this alchemy of the heart is, I trow, a great -worthy for earthling,- pleasure"
