    Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or breakfast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry—determined to make a day of it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset and【C1】________in that terrible rapid and whirlpool called a【C2】________, situated in the meridian shallows. Weather this【C3】________and you are safe, for the rest of the way is down【C4】________. With unrelaxed nerves, with morning vigor, sail by it,【C5】________another way, tied to the mast like Ulysses. If the engine【C6】________, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell【C7】________, why should we run? We will consider what kind of【C8】________they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and【C9】________our feet downward through the mud and slush of【C10】________, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance,【C11】________alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through【C12】________and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard【C13】________and rocks in place.
    Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the【C14】________bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin【C15】________slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink【C16】________, fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with【C17】________. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the【C18】________. I have always been regretting that I was not as【C19】________as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and【C20】________its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and forepaws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors, I judge; and here I will begin to mine. [br] 【C9】
