SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE

I have struggled all my life to cure this tendency to daydream, lest it should carry me into remote waters. But the effort of swimming against this gentle current takes away some of my vital strength.

But one of these days I shall have to go, without worrying where I might end up.
