The ground was hard, the air was still, my road was lonely; I walked fast till I got warm, and then I walked slowly to enjoy and analyse the species of pleasure brooding for me in the hour and situation.
Il terreno era duro, l'aria tranquilla e la strada solitaria. Camminai presto finché non mi fui riscaldata, poi rallentai il passo per meglio godere ed analizzare il mio godimento.
