Somewhere
Language: English
Somewhere, far below the horizon, there is a City; someday I shall sail to find its harbour; by what star I shall steer, or where that seaport lies, I don't know; but somehow or other through calms and storms and the sea-noises, I shall voyage, until at last at some peak will arise, telling me I am near my destination; or I shall see, at dusk, a lighthouse, twinkling, momentarily, at its port.
