“Child, child, love while you can The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man; Never fear though it break your heart- Out of the wound new joy will start; Only love proudly and gladly and well, Though love be heaven or love be hell.

Travel, which is like a greater and a graver science, brings us back to ourselves.”
