But has its hour struck in France? It is because I want the Republic that I want it to be durable and definitive. You are going to consult the nation, are you not? the whole nation?" "The whole nation, assuredly.
The wandering instinct is never very far from any of us who have once passed east of Suez, and learned that the highest end and aim of life is not to live in a town, however large and ugly, and suffer without complaining the inevitable visits of the tax collector. Our tent was set for the night in a valley that we reached by a path half-buried in undergrowth and known only to the head muleteer.
