At last the horizon seems to us again free, Even if it is not bright, at last our ships can put out again, No matter what the danger; Every daring venture of knowledge is again permitted; The sea, our sea again is there open before us; Perhaps there has never been such an “open sea”.

The crowd is unfazed.

They cannot hear me. They look at things as the deaf and dumb do. Now I will go into the mountains. There I will have the enjoyment of my spirit and my solitude. Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. I will go and dance alone in the mountains.
