One of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey; but I like to go by myself. I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.

 

“The fields his study, nature was his book.”

 

I cannot see the wit of walking and talking at the same time. When I am in the country, I wish to vegetate like the country. I am not for criticising hedgerows and black cattle. I go out of town in order to forget the town and all that it is in it. There are those who for this purpose go to watering-places, and carry the metropolis with them. I like more elbow-room, and fewer incumbrances. I like solitude, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude; nor do I ask for

“—a friend in my retreat,

Whom I may whisper solitude is sweet.”

 

The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases. We go a journey chiefly to be free of all impediments and of all inconveniences; to leave ourselves behind, much more to get rid of others. It is because I want a little breathing-space to muse on indifferent matters, where Contemplation

Were all too ruffled, and sometimes impair’d,”

Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours’ march to dinner — and then to thinking! It is hard if I cannot start some game on these lone heaths. I laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for joy.

 

世上*惬意的事情之一便是出游;而我一向性喜孤往。居室内时我还喜欢交往;但是一旦到了户外,自然这个侣伴对我已是足够。那时我身虽孤独而绝不孤独。

 

田野是书斋,自然供卷轴。

 

我真不懂,一个人一边散步而又一边谈话会有什么妙处。如果我去了乡间,那我就要安安静静地住在那里,像草木一般地不声不响。我的职务并非是去评论绿篱与黑牛。我走出
