A Walking Song

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began

Now far ahead the Road has gone

And I must follow, if I can

Pursuing it with eager feet

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet

And whither then? I cannot say.

'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step onto the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.'

{J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring}
