Excerpt from Wandering Thoughts and Wandering Steps
Far away toward the rising sun is our Mecca, the Old World. Toward its shrines, pilgrim-like, our steps wander. We put on our sandals, prepare our scrip, take up our staff, and turn to seek a companion with whom to cull sweet flowers by the wayside, and to chat on subjects grave and gay, pleasant and se vere.
Will you, kind reader, be our companion while we thus beguile the way and peep - only peep - into a few interesting places? If so, when arrayed in a vesture of that gentle charity which believeth all things, hopeth all things, and forgiveth all imperfections, we shall recognize in you the sympathetic friend and reader whom we seek.
