In The Year 1845 I Undertook Another Journey; {2} A Journey,
Moreover, To The Far North. Iceland Was One Of Those Regions
Towards Which, From The Earliest Period Of My Consciousness, I Had
Felt Myself Impelled. In This Country, Stamped As It Is By Nature
With Features So Peculiar, As Probably To Have No Counterpart On The
Face Of The Globe, I Hoped To See Things Which Should Fill Me With
New And Inexpressible Astonishment. How Deeply Grateful Do I Feel
To Thee, O Thou That Hast Vouchsafed To Me To Behold The Fulfilment
Of These My Cherished Dreams!
