text_original: There is a sign post sticking up in the middle of it, that originally told the traveler it was thirty five miles to Central Ferry. But now the traveler has retorted; and three different hand writings on this sign post reveal to you that you have had predecessors in your thought, comrades who shared your sorrows: Forty five miles to water. Seventy five miles to wood. And then the last word: Two and one half miles to hell.
