Excerpt from Les Royaumes de l'Inde
Il me faut faire un véritable elfort pour ranger avec quelque ordre dans mon esprit tout ce que j'ai vu depuis un mois que j'ai quitté Paris. La traversée de la Méditerranée avec ses flots bleus etle spectacle toujours varié desîles et des côtes que longe le steamer, une rapide visite à Malte, la légendaire forteresse des croisés, puis le débarquement sur la terre des Pharaons, Alexandrie et ses jardins, le Caire et son dédale de bàzars, de mosquées, de ruines, une escalade de la grande pyramide par un beau clair de lune, enfin Suez avec tous les souvenirs bibliques de ses environs et le renom que lui donne le canal entrepris par M. De Lesseps, tent cela forme un magnifique prologue à mon voyage, mais dont la description me demanderait une série de feuillets capables de transformer en un volume cette lettre qui menace d'être assez longue.
