lies on the heights of life is born of the vast 

 and unclouded vision which looks down 

 upon all obstacles, over all barriers, and 

 takes in at a glance the mighty scope of 

 human activity and the unbroken sky 

 which overhangs it continually like a visible 

 infinity. On such heights it is the blessed 

 reward of a few elect souls to live ; but the 

 paths thither are open to every traveller.
