Inscriptions

on front: Hope - is being able to / go in any direction - / to know it is the right / direction -- / NOT I NO / R ANYONE / ELSE CAN / TRAVEL T / HAT ROAD / for you, you must travel it for yourself. It is not far, it is within reach. / Perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know, Perhaps it is / everywhere on water and on land...If you tire, give me both burdens, and rest / the chuff of your hand on my hip, And in due time you shall repay the same ser / vice to me, For after we start we never lie by again...
