Come with us. All is ready. On the coast,

In a lonely creek, the quiet keel is rocking.

Three trusty sailors wait us, and at dawn

We, too, shall find new life in a new world

With all that could endure. The voyager knows

The blindness of the cities. Each believes

Its narrow wall the boundary of the world;

And when he puts to sea, their buzzing cries

Fade out behind him like a wrangle of bees.”—

“If I remain, what then?”—
