Trang 1You have been away from home on some occasion
Tell your feelings on leaving
Deep down in every of us there is an adventurer, and
eternally youthful spirit that hungers for new and strange
places, for new and wondrous experiences It is a deeply
human feeling, this desire to travel and visit unknown
places, this desire to increase one’s knowledge of the
world It is an ancient longing, far more ancient than the
first man who looked up at the hawk and with a cry of pain
wished that he could fly, too
Trang 2Therefore, two sorts of feelings can be experienced on
leaving home for some time First we are anxious to know
the place where we intend to go and we eagerly look
forward to making the acquaintance of new friends in a
new surrounding; then we shall be able to draw
comparisons between the old place and the new one
Yet our joy is not unmitigated, because on leaving an old
place, memories of all sorts come back to our mind We
remember the pleasant hours we spent there with our
Trang 3family and friends, and the happy events that place was a
witness of On such an occasion even sorry
remembrances are gently cared for, since they are some
more links connecting us to that place and thus making it
all the dearer to us
Then we easily understand why, most of the time, any
departure causes such opposite feelings, the source of
moral torment for fear we should deprived of all that made
our life sweet before
Trang 4Before leaving of abroad I had only seen things so
common, but everything seemed beautiful to me now
