For this is the journey that men make to find themselves.
If they fail in this, it doesn't matter much what else they find.
But if a man happens to find himself - if he knows what he can be
Depended upon to do, the limits of his courage, the positions from which
He will no longer retreat, the degree to which he can surrender his
Inner life to some woman, the secret reservoirs of his determination,
The extent of his dedication, the depth of his feeling for beauty,
His honest and unpostured goals - then he has found a mansion which
He can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life.
