Which word in this excerpt from act 1 of Eugene O’Neill’s Beyond the Horizon reflects the theme of pursuing one’s dreams?
ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to {wonder} what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind. (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It {called} to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea. And I’d {promise} myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would {find} the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.
