"It is required of every man β¦ that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through the world β oh, woe is me! β and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness!"
