+
+                     By Nathaniel Hawthorne
+
+
+
+Pleasant is a rainy winter's day, within doors!  The best study for
+such a day, or the best amusement,--call it which you will,--is a
+book of travels, describing scenes the most unlike that  sombre one,
+which is mistily presented through the windows. I have experienced,
+that fancy is then most successful in imparting distinct shapes and
+vivid colors to  the objects which the author has spread upon his
+page,  and that his words become magic spells to summon up a  thousand
+varied pictures.  Strange landscapes glimmer through the familiar
+walls of the room, and outlandish  figures thrust themselves almost
+within the sacred precincts of the hearth.  Small as my chamber is, it
+has space enough to contain the ocean-like circumference  of an
+Arabian desert, its parched sands tracked by  the long line of a
+caravan, with the camels patiently  journeying through the heavy
+sunshine. Though my ceiling be not lofty, yet I can pile up the
+mountains of  Central Asia beneath it, till their summits shine far
+above the clouds of the middle atmosphere.  And, with  my humble
+means, a wealth that is not taxable, I can transport hither the
+magnificent merchandise of an Oriental bazaar, and call a crowd of
+purchasers from distant countries, to pay a fair profit for the
+precious articles which are displayed on all sides.  True it is,
+however, that amid the bustle of traffic, or whatever else may seem to
+be going on around me, the rain-drops will occasionally be heard to
+patter against my window-panes, which look forth upon one of the
+quietest streets in a New England town.  After a time, too, the
+visions vanish, and will not appear again at my bidding.  Then, it
+being nightfall, a gloomy sense of unreality depresses my spirits, and
+impels me to venture out, before the clock shall strike bedtime, to
+satisfy myself that the world is not entirely made up of such shadowy
+materials, as have busied me throughout the day.  A dreamer may dwell
+so long among fantasies, that the things without him will seem as
+unreal as those within.
+
+When eve has fairly set in, therefore, I sally forth, tightly
+buttoning my shaggy overcoat, and hoisting my umbrella, the silken
+dome of which immediately resounds with the heavy drumming of the
+invisible rain-drops.  Pausing on the lowest doorstep, I contrast the
+warmth and cheerfulness of my deserted fireside with the drear
+obscurity and chill discomfort into which I am about to plunge.  Now
+come fearful auguries, innumerable as the drops of rain.  Did not my
+manhood cry shame upon me, I should turn back within doors, resume my
+elbow-chair, my slippers, and my book, pass such an evening of
+sluggish enjoyment as the day has been, and go to bed inglorious.  The
+same shivering reluctance, no doubt, has quelled, for a moment, the
+adventurous spirit of many a traveller, when his feet, which were
+destined to measure the earth around, were leaving their last tracks
+in the home-paths.
+
+In my own case, poor human nature may be allowed a few misgivings.  I
+look upward, and discern no sky, not even an unfathomable void, but
+only a black, impenetrable nothingness, as though heaven and all its
+lights were blotted from the system of the universe.  It is as if
+nature were dead, and the world had put on black, and the clouds were
+weeping for her.  With their tears upon my cheek, I turn my eyes
+earthward, but find little consolation here below.  A lamp is burning
+dimly at the distant corner, and throws just enough of light along the
+street, to show, and exaggerate by so faintly showing, the perils and
+difficulties which beset my path.  Yonder dingily white remnant of a
+huge snow-bank,--which will yet cumber the sidewalk till the latter
+days of March,--over or through that wintry waste must I stride
+onward.  Beyond, lies a certain Slough of Despond, a concoction of mud
+and liquid filth, ankle-deep, leg-deep, neck-deep,--in a word, of
+unknown bottom, on which the lamplight does not even glimmer, but which
+I have occasionally watched, in the gradual growth of its horrors,
+from morn till nightfall. Should I flounder into its depths, farewell
+to upper earth!  And hark! how roughly resounds the roaring of a
+stream, the turbulent career of which is partially reddened by the
+gleam of the lamp, but elsewhere brawls noisily through the densest
+gloom.  O, should I be swept away in fording that impetuous and
+unclean torrent, the coroner will have a job with an unfortunate
+gentleman, who would fain end his troubles anywhere but in a mud-puddle!
+
+Pshaw!  I will linger not another instant at arm's length from these
+dim terrors, which grow more obscurely formidable, the longer I delay
+to grapple with them.  Now for the onset!  And to! with little damage,
+save a dash of rain in the fact and breast, a splash of mud high up
+the pantaloons, and the left boot full of ice-cold water, behold me at
+the corner of the street.  The lamp throws down a circle of red light
+around me; and twinkling onward from corner to corner, I discern other
+beacons marshalling my way to a brighter scene.  But this is alone
+some and dreary spot. The tall edifices bid gloomy defiance to the
+storm, with their blinds all closed, even as a man winks when he faces
+a spattering gust.  How loudly tinkles the collected rain down the tin
+spouts! The puffs of wind are boisterous, and seem to assail me from
+various quarters at once.  I have often observed that this corner is a
+haunt and loitering-place for those winds which have no work to do
+upon the deep, dashing ships against our iron-bound shores; nor in the
+forest, tearing up the sylvan giants with half a rood of soil at their
+vast roots.  Here they amuse themselves with lesser freaks of
+mischief.  See, at this moment, how they assail yonder poor woman, who
+is passing just within the verge of the lamplight!  One blast
+struggles for her umbrella, and turns it wrong side outward; another
+whisks the cape of her cloak across her eyes; while a third takes most
+unwarrantable liberties with the lower part of her attire.  Happily,
+the good dame is no gossamer, but a figure of rotundity and fleshly
+substance; else would these aerial tormentors whirl her aloft, like a
+witch upon a broomstick, and set her down, doubtless, in the filthiest
+kennel hereabout.
+
+From hence I tread upon firm pavements into the centre of the town.
+Here there is almost as brilliant an illumination as when some great
+victory has been won, either on the battle-field or at the polls.  Two
+rows of shops, with windows down nearly to the ground, cast a glow
+from side to side, while the black night hangs overhead like a canopy,
+and thus keeps the splendor from diffusing itself away.  The wet
+sidewalks gleam with a broad sheet of red light.  The rain-drops
+glitter, as if the sky were pouring down rubies.  The spouts gush with
+fire.  Methinks the scene is an emblem of the deceptive glare, which
+mortals throw around their footsteps in the moral world, thus
+bedazzling themselves, till they forget the impenetrable obscurity
+that hems them in, and that can be dispelled only by radiance from
+above. And after all, it is a cheerless scene, and cheerless are the
+wanderers in it.  Here comes one who has so long been familiar with
+tempestuous weather that he takes the bluster of the storm for a
+friendly greeting, as if it should say,  "How fare ye, brother?"
+He is a retired sea-captain, wrapped in some nameless garment of the
+pea-jacket order, and is now laying his course towards the Marine
+Insurance Office, there to spin yarns of gale and shipwreck, with a
+crew of old seadogs like himself.  The blast will put in its word
+among their hoarse voices, and be understood by all of them.  Next I
+meet an unhappy slipshod gentleman, with a cloak flung hastily over
+his shoulders, running a race with boisterous winds, and striving to
+glide between the drops of rain.  Some domestic emergency or other has
+blown this miserable man from his warm fireside in quest of a doctor!
+See that little vagabond,--how carelessly he has taken his stand right
+underneath a spout, while staring at some object of curiosity in a
+shop-window!  Surely the rain is his native element; he must have
+fallen with it from the clouds, as frogs are supposed to do.
+
+Here is a picture, and a pretty one.  A young man and a girl, both
+enveloped in cloaks, and huddled beneath the scanty protection of a
+cotton umbrella.  She wears rubber overshoes; but he is in his
+dancing-pumps; and they are on their way, no doubt, to sonic
+cotillon-party, or subscription-ball at a dollar a head, refreshments
+included.  Thus they struggle against the gloomy tempest, lured onward
+by a vision of festal splendor. But, ah! a most lamentable disaster.
+Bewildered by the red, blue, and yellow meteors, in an apothecary's
+window, they have stepped upon a slippery remnant of ice, and are
+precipitated into a confluence of swollen floods, at the corner of two
+streets. Luckless lovers!  Were it my nature to be other than a
+looker-on in life, I would attempt your rescue.  Since that may not
+be, I vow, should you be drowned, to weave such a pathetic story of
+your fate, as shall call forth tears enough to drown you both anew.
+Do ye touch bottom, my young friends?  Yes; they emerge like a
+water-nymph and a river deity, and paddle hand in hand out of the depths
+of the dark pool.  They hurry homeward, dripping, disconsolate, abashed,
+but with love too warm to be chilled by the cold water.  They have
+stood a test which proves too strong for many.  Faithful, though over
+head and ears in trouble!
+
+Onward I go, deriving a sympathetic joy or sorrow from the varied
+aspect of mortal affairs, even as my figure catches a gleam from the
+lighted windows, or is blackened by an interval of darkness. Not that
+mine is altogether a chameleon spirit, with no hue of its own.  Now I
+pass into a more retired street, where the dwellings of wealth and
+poverty are intermingled, presenting a range of strongly contrasted
+pictures.  Here, too, may be found the golden mean.  Through yonder
+casement I discern a family circle,--the grandmother, the parents, and
+the children,--all flickering, shadow-like, in the glow of a wood-fire.
+Bluster, fierce blast, and beat, thou wintry rain, against the
+window-panes!  Ye cannot damp the enjoyment of that fireside. Surely
+my fate is hard, that I should be wandering homeless here, taking to
+my bosom night, and storm, and solitude, instead of wife and children.
+Peace, murmurer!  Doubt not that darker guests are sitting round the
+hearth, though the warm blaze hides all but blissful images.  Well;
+here is still a brighter scene. A stately mansion, illuminated for a
+ball, with cut-glass chandeliers and alabaster lamps in every room,
+and sunny landscapes hanging round the walls.  See! a coach has
+stopped, whence emerges a slender beauty, who, canopied by two
+umbrellas, glides within the portal, and vanishes amid lightsome
+thrills of music.  Will she ever feel the night-wind and the rain?
+Perhaps,--perhaps!  And will Death and Sorrow ever enter that proud
+mansion?  As surely as the dancers will be gay within its halls
+to-night.  Such thoughts sadden, yet satisfy my heart; for they teach me
+that the poor man, in his mean, weather-beaten hovel, without a fire
+to cheer him, may call the rich his brother, brethren by Sorrow, who
+must be an inmate of both their households,--brethren by Death, who
+will lead them, both to other homes.
+
+Onward, still onward, I plunge into the night.  Now have I reached the
+utmost limits of the town, where the last lamp struggles feebly with
+the darkness, like the farthest star that stands sentinel on the
+borders of uncreated space.  It is strange what sensations of
+sublimity may spring from a very humble source.  Such are suggested by
+this hollow roar of a subterranean cataract, where the mighty stream
+of a kennel precipitates itself beneath an iron grate, and is seen no
+more on earth.  Listen awhile to its voice of mystery; and fancy will
+magnify it, till you start and smile at the illusion.  And now another
+sound,--the rumbling of wheels,--as the mail-coach, outward bound,
+rolls heavily off the pavements, and splashes through the mud and
+water of the road.  All night long, the poor passengers will be tossed
+to and fro between drowsy watch and troubled sleep, and will dream of
+their own quiet beds, and awake to find themselves still jolting
+onward.  Happier my lot, who will straightway hie me to my familiar
+room, and toast myself comfortably before the fire, musing, and
+fitfully dozing, and fancying a strangeness in such sights as all may
+see.  But first let me gaze at this solitary figure, who comes
+hitherward with a tin lantern, which throws the circular pattern of
+its punched holes on the ground about him. He passes fearlessly into
+the unknown gloom, whither I will not follow him.
+
+This figure shall supply me with a moral, wherewith, for lack of a
+more appropriate one, I may wind up my sketch.  He fears not to tread
+the dreary path before him, because his lantern, which was kindled at
+the fireside of his home, will light him back to that same fireside
+again.  And thus we, night-wanderers through a stormy and dismal
+world, if we bear the lamp of Faith, enkindled at a celestial fire, it
+will surely lead us home to that Heaven whence its radiance was
+borrowed.

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
