But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?"" It is required of every man, " the Ghost returned, "that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through the world--oh, woe is me! --and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness!. . I cannot rest, I cannot stay, I cannot linger anywhere. My spirit never roved beyond the narrow limits of our money-changing hole; and weary journeys lie before me!. Charles Dickens
