Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading me wherever I
choose.
Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I myself am good for-
tune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need
nothing;
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.
-- Walt Whitman
