It is not a mere commentary on life: it is life it fills and floods every channel of the brain. It is a book that men make a hobby of, as golf or billiards. To know it is a liberal education.
I bathed my face in the cold well that perpetually poured over its full brim, drank the coffee which Francois had already prepared, sprang into the saddle, and began the last day of our long pilgrimage.
