About This Chapter
This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a famous poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow's poem is about a young man who is afraid of the unknown, but he is also afraid of what he will do if he does not find a way to express his fears. In this poem, the young man says that he is afraid that he will not be able to express these fears because he is too young to understand them. He also says that his fears are unfounded, because he has already expressed them by coming to the place where he is trapped. The young man asks Longfellow why he is so afraid, and the poet replies that he has no idea what to do with his life. He says that the only thing he knows is that he wants to be young, and he is envious of his youth. He then asks Longfellow what he is aiming for, and Longfellow replies that nothing, he is just envious. He goes on to say that the longer he lives, the more he becomes cowardly. He adds that he would like to climb the tree of life, but that he cannot because the scenery is not bad at all, and that the girl who is hiding in the tree is not a fish but a girl without eyes. He concludes that she did not want to kill him because he was able to emerge from the tree alive.
