Where the Air is Thin

There is no short cut,
no patent tram-road,
to wisdom.
After all the centuries of invention,
the soul's path lies
through the thorny wilderness
which must be still trodden in solitude,
with bleeding feet,
with sobs for help,
as it was trodden by them of old time.
- George Eliot
