328 Have the past struggles succeeded? What has succeeded? Yourself? Your nation?
 * Nature?

Now understand me well—It is provided in the
 * essence of things, that from any fruition of success,
 * no matter what, shall come forth something
 * to make a greater struggle necessary.

My call is the call of battle—I nourish active
 * rebellion,

He going with me must go well armed. He going with me goes often with spare diet, poverty,
 * angry enemies, desertions.

Allons! The road is before us! It is safe—I have tried it—my own feet have tried
 * it well.

Allons! Be not detained! Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten, and the
 * book on the shelf unopened!

Let the tools remain in the workshop! let the money
 * remain unearned!

Let the school stand! mind not the cry of the teacher! Let the preacher preach in his pulpit! let the lawyer
 * plead in the court, and the judge expound the
 * law.

Mon enfant! I give you my hand! I give you my love, more precious than money, I give you myself, before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel
 * with me?

Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?
