2 You hope that you will not disappoint me. The danger of being disappointed is all on your own side. Don't believe one
half that Mrs Carr says, I am only a piece of jagged human mist drifting about these rocks waters Heaven only knows how or
wherefor. Hitherto I have walked alone I shall rejoice in you as companion but remember that in that case A vagabond shalt
thou be . Moreover you must not hope that I can teach you, I am only a baby slowly learning my mountain alphabet But I can
freely promise that Nature will do great things for you I know little of men yet venture to say that half our best teachers
are manufactured, - so ground - pressed in the mills of culture 3 that God cannot play a single tune upon them. I am glad
to learn my friend that you have not yet submitted yourself to any of the mouldy laws of literature - that your spiritual
affinities are still alive unsatisfied Come then to the mountains bathe in fountain Love. Stand upon our Domes let spirit
winds blow through you you will sing effortless as an Eolian harp You will enjoy the ocean There is but little difference
between land sea, Heavens What glorious storm nights you will have among phosphorescent foam May God be good to you. Lave
your existence in those the Beauty Love of those Isles of the sea. Keep your heart pure it shall be like a silvered plate
