"I go to prove my soul.
I see my way as birds their trackless way,
I shall arrive! what time, what circuit first
I ask not: but unless God send His hail
Or blinding fire-balls, sleet, or stiffling snow,
In some time---His good time---I shall arrive:
He guides me and the bird. In His good time! "ROBERT BROWNING
