Fin is on page 263 of 773 of Mason & Dixon: "As to journey west... in the same sense as the Sun, is to live, raise Children, grow older, and die, carried along by the Stream of the Day,� whilst to turn Eastward, is somehow to resist time and age, to work against the Wind, seek ever tue dawn, even, as who can say, defy Death."
