I longed for a power of vision which might ... reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen: that I desired more of practical experience than I possessed; more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach ... I could not help it; the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes.
