An easy approach to the walls must be provided against: indeed they should be surrounded by uneven ground, and the roads leading to the gates should be winding and turn to the left from the gates.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.
Many roads lead to the path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.
When the gate drops, it's time to try and execute the best you can.
But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too.
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
I think of novels in architectural terms. You have to enter at the gate, and this gate must be constructed in such a way that the reader has immediate confidence in the strength of the building.
I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.
There are no road signs to help navigate. And, in fact, no one has yet determined which side of the road we're supposed to be on.
Sometimes you have to, as I say, build bridges where you can - but draw lines where you must.
If you can't go one way, there's many ways to get where you're going. So you just take a step back and see beyond the wall.
