Parent message is 424222
“i live not in myself, but i become
portion of that around me; and to me
high mountains are a feeling, but the hum
of human cities torture: i can see
nothing to loathe in nature, save to be
a link reluctant in a fleshy chain,
class’d among creatures, when the soul can flee,
and with the sky, the peak, the heaving plain
of ocean, or the stars, mingle, and not in vain.”
