But then, I am always being overwhelmed. I require it to sustain life.

I must pack my short lifer full of interesting events and creative activity. Philosophy and aesthetic contemplation are not enough. I intend to do everything possible to broaden my experiences and allow myself to reach the fullest development. Then, and before physical deterioration obtrudes, I shall go on some last wilderness trip to a place I have known and loved. I shall not return.

I'm drunk on the fiery elixer of beauty.

Always, I want to live more intensely and richly.

While I am alive, I intend to live.

I'll never stop wandering. And when the time comes to die, I'll find the wildest, loneliest, most desolate spot there is.

I have been in many beautiful places, and did not wish to taste, but to drink deep.
