[Guest guest]

Many times I have been in the jaws of death, footsore, and weary; for

days and days I had had no food, and often could walk no farther; I

would sink down under a tree, and life would seem ebbing away. I

could not speak, I could scarcely think, but at last the mind

reverted to the idea: " I have no fear nor death; I never hunger nor

thirst. I am It! I am It! The whole of nature cannot crush me; it is

my servant. Assert thy strength, thou Lord of lords and God of gods!

Regain thy lost empire! Arise and walk and stop not! "
