Question

the reward of enterprise
by ward muir
it was overwhelming. never in all my life have i attained to a rapture comparable with that bathe in mid - atlantic. i knew, even at the time, that it would be unforgettable. i had aspired to be able to say that i had swum in water three miles deep... oh, never mind what vain boast i had promised myself. boasting was forgotten. i was experiencing. i was surrendered to an ecstasy, an enchantment, a glee, beyond expression grandiose and delicious. i lolled in the pellucid water, not troubling to swim. i let myself go in those dizzy soarings and sinkings; i abandoned myself to this vast and beautiful force; i felt at once infinitely little and infinitely great.

Explanation:

• "surrendered" in the context means giving oneself over to a feeling. "let myself go" and "abandoned myself" also convey the idea of giving in to a state (the ecstasy described).
• "attained" means achieved (like attaining a goal) which is different from "surrendered". "desired" means wanted which is also different from the meaning of "surrendered" in this context.

Answer:

Similar: let myself go, abandoned myself
Different: attained, desired
