“Silence is a virgin mountain
Rarely visited by humans,
For it’s impossible to
Discover the paths
Leading to its peak-
And a man is but a conqueror!”

“Three years ago, my journey began with me stepping through that gate, and now, it comes to an end with me stepping through it again.

“Her thoughts were silently fixed on the irreparable injury which too early an independence and its consequent habits of idleness, dissipation, and luxury, had made in the mind, the character, the happiness, of a man who, to every advantage of person and talents, united a disposition naturally open and honest, and a feeling, affectionate temper. The world had made him extravagant and vain—Extravagance and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish. Vanity, while seeking its own guilty triumph at the expense of another, had involved him in a real attachment, which extravagance, or at least its offspring, necessity, had required to be sacrificed. Each faulty propensity in leading him to evil, had led him likewise to punishment.”
