Journey: (1) Walt Whitman

"Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
    You must travel it for yourself.

    It is not far, it is within reach,
    Perhaps you have been on it since you were born 

and did not know,
    Perhaps it is every where on water and on land"

Walt Whitman, Song of Myself, number 46 (fragment)
