Doré (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from DoréI took just eleven naps on the passage across the Atlantic, ate eleven dinners, and as many breakfasts, lunches, and suppers. I made no inscriptions on the waves, and. The waves made none on me, although this amiable reciprocity was freely indulged in by many, who came below with wet backs as the reward Of that ambition which induces so many travelers to leave their marks where they can not leave their names. If columns and. Monuments had the ocean's wit, there would soon be an end of such cheaply-purchased fame.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
