"In life, as
On the water, let
The arch of the sky
And the mightiness of storms
Encompass you.
Tremble with joy!"

Quote from an Iglulik shaman recorded by Knud Rasmussen in 1921 in the 'Fifth Thule Expedition" volume on Igloolik.

"I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life."

... from Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson
