The Heath...My Destination.

The Heath is so beautiful, and I must watch over those who inhabit it...

At my time in Egdon many came to me in want of direction. Miss Thomasin twice in fact the second time just recently with her anxiousness she told me "It is so silly of me not to know Egdon better, and I cannot think how I came to lose the path. Show me quickly, Diggory, Please!" (5. 8. 360) So of course I helped, for I know this place as if it were the back of my very own hand. 

When I'm in Egdon I feel at peace. I am so at peace that I can easily rest my head and I don't want to depart, no mater the need. "Venn was loth to depart, for all on earth that interested im lay under this roof." (5. 9. 370)

I am able to find my home in just the light of the dim moon. This place is just a map in my mind. "I ascended the valley in a mathematically direct line towards my distant home in the meadows." (6. 1.383)
