Trestle

If it is necessary, omit one bridge over the river, go round a little there, and throw one arch at least over the darker gulf of ignorance which surrounds us. - Thoreau

emotions swaying

back and forth feelings quiver

bridging heart's chasm

Author's Note

“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.” - Thoreau
