This life, this agita- tion, this Chinese splendor, are inconceivable, in- explicable to us; such an abyss of dissimilarity lies between this world and ours!
The great artery stretches on before us broad and straight, — a road three or four kilometres long, leading finally to another monumental gate which appears in the distance, surmounted by a dungeon with an absurd roof. This is an opening through a wall beyond which is the outside soli- tude.
