r Farewell, my friends, my path inclines to this side the monntain, ours to that. For a long time you have appeared further and further off to me. I see that you will at length disappear altogether. For a season my path seems lonely without you. The meadows are like barren ground. The memory of me is steadily passing away from you. My path grows narrower and steeper, and the night is approaching. Yet I have faith that, in the definite future, new suns will arise, and new plains expand before me, and I trust that I shall therein encounter pilgrims who bear that same virtue that I recognized in you, who will be that very virtue that was you. I accept the everlasting and salutary law, which was promulgated as much that spring that I first knew you, as this that I seem to lose you. Mv former friends, I visit vou as one walks amid the columns of a ruined temple. You belong to an era, a civilization and glory, long past. I recog- nize still your fair proportions, notwithstanding the convulsions which we have felt, and the weeds and jackles that have sprung up around. I come here to be reminded of the past, to read your inscriptions, the hiero- glyphics, the sacred writings. We are no longer the representatives of our former selves. Love is a thirst that is never slaked. Under the coarsest rind, the sweetest meat. If you would read a friend aright, you must be able to read through something thicker and opaquer than horn. If you can read a friend, all language will be easy to you. Enemies publish themselves. They declare war. The friend never declares his love. — Thoreau ' s Journal Best wishes from all of us at RALPH JORDAN Textiles of Acton 192
