Présentation de l'éditeur
Chapter I FOREWORD AND WANDERLUST r XlHE wanderlust, like religion, is soul blown -in the race. Some subtle taint from the migratory experiences of mankind remains as an infection of yearning and restlessness in us alL It does not need the advertisements of travel, pictures of galleries, tales of adventure, or maps of battlefields to lure one abroad. It is innate, like honor, courage, and the instinct to command. The mountains that lift themselves into the sky, the stars on which we gaze, and the seas over which we rush are the same age after age; likewise the desire to see them renes itself in every generation, and just as each man by some noble capacity may expand into knowledge of God and love and duty, so each heart opens to the curiosity and inquiry of what is beyond. Disappointment does not obliterate it, nor time heal it. No matter how long repressed by the discipline of life, it is yet like some latent bud ready to flower at opportunity.
