“ ‘The soul of a nomad can hear a call from afar…’ A settled life for a traveler is like a cage for a bird… the mysterious voice from afar wakes up my soul and, again, calls it back… How many times did I feel genuine happiness facing the wild, grandiose nature; how many times ascended the extreme absolute and relative heights; how many times imbibed the beauty of magnificent ridges… Ever since ancient times the solemn grandeur of nature has commanded the attention of man…”
