Excerpt from Voyages Et Voyageurs de la Renaissance
Nos voyageurs vont àpied ou à cheval, entre amis, lentement et par petites étapes. Ils sovou rent et détaillent, comme des gourmets,' et ne res semblent guère à nos emballés toute vapeur qui ne pensent qu a aller plus vite, plus loin et plus haut que le voisin. Chemin fazsant, ils prennent des notes et, rentrés chez eux, rédigent celui - ci des lettres, celui - là un journal, cet autre un rap port, sans pose, sans majesté, sans préoccupation de la galerie, sachant merveille que leur écri ture est destinée a disparaitre, jetée au feu ou enterrée dans les archives.
