For West is where we all plan to go some day. | |
It is where you go when the land gives out and the old-field pines encroach. | |
It is where you go when you get the letter saying: Flee, all is discovered. | |
It is where you go when you look down at the blade in your hand and the blood on it. | |
It is where you go when you are told that you are a bubble on the tide of empire. | |
It is where you go when you hear that thar's gold in them-thar hills. | |
It is where you go to grow up with the country. | |
It is where you go to spend your old age. | |
Or it is just where you go. | |
Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men |
