I have told many that I walk every dayabout half the daylight, but I think they do not believe it.I wish to get the Concord, the Massachusetts, the America,out of my head and be sane a part of every day.

The gap is a standing reproach to Americans but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.
