Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From a Cambridge Note-Book IT was in the Lent Term towards the time when the coming of Spring is no longer an illusion that we rose up with the first bird-call, shook the dew from laden grass-blades, and cried Good morning to the road. For Spring and the road were calling to us, and there is no gainsaying these mighty voices. They have the authority of the Universal in their tones. For the spirit of Spring is of boundless space and of all time, it pervades the country not alone, but cities and the sea. And the cry of all roads is of travel out into the four corners of the world; and strong-voiced is this Roman road of ours which has journeyed from many centuries ago, and will roll on imperturbably to aeons wrapped in the blue distance. Upon a Spring morning there is no better com rade than a road. For when Spring is in the blood, whatever age our bodies, we ourselves are young.
