“what makes us so afraid is the thing we half see, or half hear, as in a wood at dusk, when a tree stump becomes an animal and a sound becomes a siren.

“the African leopard is an audacious animal, although it is ungrateful of me to say a word against him, after the way he has let me off personally ... taken as a whole, he is the most lovely animal I have ever seen; only seeing him, in the one way you can gain a full idea of his beauty, namely in his native forest, is not an unmixed joy to a person, like myself, of a nervous disposition.” WayPersonsIdeasWholeJoyAnimalTakenSeeingGainsLet MeLovelyForestsNervousOne WayNativeDispositionUngratefulLeopardsAudacious Book:Travels in West Africa, Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons Source: Travels in West Africa, Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons
