AMPERSAND

“_It is not the walking merely, it is keeping yourself in tune

for a walk, in the spiritual and bodily condition in which you

can find entertainment and exhilaration in so simple and natural

a pastime. You are eligible to any good fortune when you are in

a condition to enjoy a walk. When the air and water taste sweet

to you, how much else will taste sweet! When the exercise of

your limbs affords you pleasure, and the play of your senses

upon the various objects and shows of Nature quickens and

stimulates your spirit, your relation to the world and to

yourself is what it should be,—simple, and direct, and

wholesome._”——

JOHN BURROUGHS: _Pepacton_.
