Example

Für die unerfahrene Jugend ist es ein seltsames Gefühl, sich plötzlich ganz allein in der Welt zu sehen von allen Bekannten getrennt ungewiß, ob sie in den Hafen, für welchen sie bestimmt ist, einlaufen kann und durch tausend Schwierigkeiten verhindert, in den sichern Port, aus welchem sie ausgelaufen, zurückzukehren.It is a very strange sensation to inexperienced youth to feel itself quite alone in the world, cut adrift from every connection, uncertain whether the port to which it is bound can be reached, and prevented by many impediments from returning to that it has quitted.OP46590
