Bayard Taylor
Image
An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.
Bayard Taylor
Image
But still I dream that somewhere there must be The spirit of a child that waits for me.
