 \nToo many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets,and too manyare the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills,and I cannotwithdraw from them without a burden and an ache.  \nIt is not a garment I cast off this day,but a skin that I tear with my own hands.Nor is it a thought I leave behind me,but a heart made sweet with hunger andwith thirst.  \nYET I cannot tarry longer.  \nThe sea that calls all things unto her calls me,and I must embark.  \nFor to stay,though the hours burn in the night,is to freeze and crystallize andbe bound in a mould.  \nFain would I take with me all that is here.But how shall I?  \nA voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings.Alone must itseek the ether.  \nAnd alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.  \nNOW when he reached the foot of the hill,he turned again towards the sea,andhe saw his ship approaching the harbour,and upon her prow the mariners,themen of his own land.  \nAND his soul cried out to them,and he said:  \nSons of my ancient mother,you riders of the tides,  \nHow often have you sailed in my dreams.And now you come in my awakening,which is my deeper dream.  \nReady am I to go,and my eagerness with sails full set awaits the wind.  \nOnly another breath will I breathe in this still air,only another loving look castbackward,  \nAnd then I shall stand among you,a seafarer among seafarers.  \nAnd you,vast sea,sleeping mother,  \nWho alone are peace and freedom to the river and the stream,  \nOnly another winding will this stream make,only another murmur in this glade,  \n—2—  \nAnd then I shall come to you,a boundless drop to a boundless ocean.  \nAND as he walked he saw from afar men and women leaving their fields andtheir vineyards and hastening towards the city gates.  \nAnd he heard their voices calling","cbCaii2uhrg6uaLh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii2uhrg6uaLh","pdf",2457725,52,"English","# The Coming of the Ship\n## On Love\n## On Marriage\n## On Children\n## On Giving\n## On Eating and Drinking\n## On Work\n## On Joy and Sorrow\n## On Houses\n## On Clothes\n## On Buying and Selling\n## On Crime and Punishment\n## On Laws\n## On Freedom\n## On Reason and Passion\n## On Pain\n## On Self-Knowledge\n## On Teaching\n## On Friendship\n## On Talking\n## On Time\n## On Good and Evil\n## On Prayer\n## On Pleasure\n## On Beauty\n## On Religion\n## On Death\n## The Farewell","[{\"question\":\"Why does Almustafa hesitate about departing?\",\"answer\":\"He cannot leave without a “wound in the spirit,” believing he has scattered fragments of himself in the city and that his leaving would mean abandoning children of his longing and a burden of ache.\"}]","The Coming of the Ship | PDF",1790622932]
