"Dear Fox, old friend...
thus we have come to the end of the road that we were to go on together... and so farewell.
But before I go, I have just one more thing to tell you: Something has spoken to me in the night, burning the tapers of the waning year; something has spoken in the night and told me I shall die, I know not where. Saying, "To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth- whereon the pillars of this earth are founded, toward which the conscience of the world is tending- a wind is rising, and the rivers flow."
You Can't Go Home Again, Thomas Wolfe
