A Voice Crying In The Wilderness

"No one who had not been in the wilderness of North America could understand that experience, the way it made a man feel he could be reborn, but only with terrible hazards, the way it made him distrust language and the life of the streets or the court or the army encampment. Once it had you, the wilderness would not let go, it was magnificent beyond telling, it was worse than your worst nightmare."

Philip Marchand, Ghost Empire
