Excerpt from Esquisses Sénégalaises: Physionomie du Pays, Peuplades, Commerce, Religions, Passé Et Avenir, Récits Et Légendes
Voulez-vous visiter la campagne, parcourir les nombreuses branches de nos fleuves? Armez votre embarcation de ses voiles ou de ses rames; tout en fendant les flots, vous voyez s'étaler devant vous des palétuviers qui s'élèvent dans l'air avec une verdure ravissante; dans leur feuillage et autour d'eux, ga zouillent et voltigent des oiseaux au riche plumage et dont nos bouquets aux couleurs belles et variées ne nous retraceraient qu'une image bien imparfaite. Contemplez ces sites, ces bosquets plantés par la nature ces vastes prairies où paissent des troupeaux de boeufs à bosse des moutons à poils longs et soyeux et des cabris; vous pensez malgré vous trouver au fond de ce paysage un château antique qui rappelle la perfection des beaux-arts. C'est tout au plus si vous rencontrez quelques cases en roseaux où une vieille négresse sera occupée à piler le mil qui doit entrer dans la préparation de son houshou.
