I walk in a cloud of wonder; I am glad.
I mingle among the crowds; my heart is pounding;
You do not guess the adventure I have had!...
Yet you, too, all have had your dark adventures,
Your sudden adventures, or strange, or sweet...
My peril goes out from me, is blown among you.
We loiter, dreaming together, along the street. (Conrad Aiken)

Yet you, too, all have had your dark adventures, Your sudden adventures, or strange, or sweet... My peril goes out from me, is blown among you. We loiter, dreaming together, along the street.
