Russia: Translated from the French of the Marquis de Custine (Classic Reprint)

Astolphe de Custine

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Russia: Translated From the French of the Marquis De Custine

A taste for travelling has never been with me a fashion; I brought it with me into the world, and I began to gratify it in early youth. We are all vaguely tormented with a desire to know a world which appears to us a dungeon, because we have not ourselves chosen it for an abode. I should feel as if I could not depart in peace out of this narrow sphere unless I endeavoured to explore my prison. The more I examine it, the more beautiful and extensive it becomes in my eyes. To see in order to know such is the motto of the traveller; such is also mine: I have not adopted it; nature gave it to me.
