Original text
Inspirited by this wind of promise, my day dreams become more fervent and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight.

Gold Edition
This promising wind fuels my daydreams, making them more vivid and intense. I refuse to believe that the pole is a place of only frost and desolation; in my mind, it's a beautiful and delightful region.

Silver edition
The cold wind makes me dream even more about my journey. I have a hard time believing that the North Pole is just cold and empty. In my imagination, it's a beautiful and wonderful place.
