I know of no pleasanter, better way, both for soul and body, than to make such a pilgrimage in the old, middle-age fashion; to suffer hunger, storm, cold, heat--all that can affect the body of flesh.

If we receive hard usage, so much the better will it be for us.

Why thump one's own flesh here?
Let it be done for us by others, our soul, meanwhile, looking at higher objects.
