Path, seeing

People are people. Jake heard that Mount Rushmore was strange because there was kind of image of George Washington there even before the carving.
'Someone saw it there. Coming up the path. Get some in. Get down. I am looking for an analogy. For love. I want to make a model of Mount Rushmore. I chip away until I have the original image of George Washington. Looks real swell. Looks dandy. People are people.'
He had it where he wanted it. It was like the guy on the mule coming up the path saw it. Jake turned into a mule.
