The Inexhautible World

As you are not unaware, I am much traveled. This fact allows me to corroborate the ascertion that a voyage is always more or less illusory, that there is nothing new under the sun, theat everything is one and the same, etcetera, but also, paradoxically enough, to assert that there is no foundation for the despairing of finding surprises and something new: in truth, the world is inexhaustible.
