Excerpt from Vanishing Roads and Other Essays
Never more than when we tread some far spreading solitude and mark the road stretching on and on into infinite space, or the eye loses it in some wistful curve behind the fateful foliage of lofty storm-stirred trees, or as it merely loiters in sunny indolence through leafy copses and ferny hollows, whatever its mood or its whim, by moon light or at morning; never more than thus, eagerly afoot or idly contemplative, are we impressed by that something that Nature seems to have to tell us, that something of solemn, lovely import be hind her visible face. If we could follow that vanishing road to its far mysterious end! Should we find that meaning there? Should we know why it stops at no mere market-town, nor comes to an end at any seaport? Should we come at last to the radiant door, and know at last the purpose of all our travel? Meanwhile the road beckons us on and on, and we walk we know not why or whither.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of roads, both physical and metaphorical, and their profound impact on human experience. Beginning with the premise that roads have become a central part of our landscape and psyche, the author delves into the historical, literary, and philosophical significance of these ubiquitous pathways. The author examines how roads have been a source of inspiration for poets and writers throughout history, evoking themes of travel, destiny, and the search for meaning. By examining the broader social and cultural impact of roads, the author uncovers their role in shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the seemingly mundane subject of roads, revealing their profound influence on our lives and the collective human experience. Through insightful analysis and evocative prose, the author demonstrates that roads are not merely paths we tread but also symbols of our journeys, both physical and spiritual.
