expressed frequently, and with an in

pious or sentimental pilgrimage of
some sort. Death carried him away
before he could realize his dream.
Many years later I decided to visit
the place, to which a subtle associa-

business trip brought me into the
neighborhood. I made a little de-
tour in order to get there.
The image which l had formed
