Travels, London/Turin

''A simple voyage by plane from Paris to London gives us a revelation of the world that
our imagination cannot anticipate. At the same time that the feeling of our new
situation delights us, it confuses us with the memory of the cares and annoyances
with which we let ourselves be troubled on that same earth that we catch sight of
below us as we cross over holes in the plain of clouds that we are overlooking from
an enchanted world which was there all the time. And when we are returned to our
modest conditions of walking, we will no longer feel the weight of the grey sky upon
us because we will remember that beyond this wall of clouds, so easily crossed, there
exists the splendor of the sun as well as the perception of limitless space in which
for a moment we felt so free.
Shouldn't one have young people who have finished there studies make a
long journey by plane.''
