To take your own lovers on the road with you, for all that you leave them behind you,

To know the universe itself as a road — as many roads — as roads for travelling Souls.

44. The Soul travels,

The body does not travel as much as the Soul,

The body has just as great a work as the Soul, and parts away at last for the journeys of the Soul.

45. All parts away for the progress of Souls, All religion, all solid things, arts, governments — all that was or is apparent upon this globe or any globe, falls into niches and corners before the procession of Souls along the grand roads of the universe.

46. Of the progress of the Souls of men and women along the grand roads of the universe, all other progress is the needed emblem and sustenance.

47. Forever alive, forever forward,

Stately, solemn, sad, withdrawn, baffled, mad, turbulent, feeble, dissatisfied.

Desperate, proud, fond, sick, accepted by men, rejected by men,

They go ! they go ! I know that they go, but I know not where they go.

But I know that they go toward the best — toward something: great.

48. Allons! Whoever you are ! come forth!

You must not stay sleeping and dallying there in the house, though you built it, or though it has been built for you.
