The land of freedom

The women wonderer goes forth

to seek the land of freedom.

How might I get there?

Reason answers: there's only one way and one way only:

Down the banks of labor,

Through the walls of suffering.

There's no other.

The women having discarded all to which she'd firmly clung, cries out

For what do I goes this far land which no one has ever reached?

I'm alone. I'm utterly alone.

And reason said to her, silence. What do you hear?

And she said, I hear the sound of feet. A thousand times, ten thousands and thousands of thousands, and they beat this way.

They are the feet of those that shall follow you.

Lead on.
