�No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseeching haunt me sleeping and waking through half a lifetime, as that one has done.  Other things leave me but it abides, other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun, the pulsing of its surf-beat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud rack; I can feel the spirit of its woodland solitudes.  I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nostrils lives the breath of flowers that perished years ago�                                                                    ������..Mark Twain.
