Man has the craving in him
to be a pilgrim and a wanderer.
It is the longing to go out from his normal world
in search of a lost home.
The next is that craving of heart to heart.
It is the longing of the soul for its perfect mate,
which makes him a lover.
The third is the craving for inward purity
and perfection, which makes him an ascetic,
and in the last resort a saint.
