Excerpt from A Holiday With a Hegelian
It was a beautiful morning, and I enjoyed pacing up and down along the cart-road Opposite to the cottage. When ever I find myself in some secluded place on the Continent, I feel as if my whole being were renewed. People who spend their life in the same rut can never have an idea what a vivifying effect even a short stay among a strange people exercises on all one's faculties. It is not so much change of scenery that appeals to me; in this respect I am unlike most Englishmen. I like to experience vividly a change of manners, language, temperament, religion - a change, in short, in mental horizon. When I realise that what in one country is considered a matter of course, if not a sine qua non, of life - say, the carrying of sleeping garments with us - is of no consequence in another, I feel strangely free.
In watching the cottage and the waving forest on either side of that remote valley, I could not help musing how narrow, after all, is individual life. Up till now I had been quite oblivious of the very existence of these parts. So far as I was concerned, all has come to be only now. Yet, in spite of my obliviousness, human hearts were throbbing here with joy and distress, with hope and despair.

Excerpt from A Holiday With a Hegelian
Only a short time ago, a pretence to the knowledge of absolute Truth would have seemed to me foolish. Nothing appeared more evident than that our knowledge must needs remain only relative, and that every endeavour to transcend facts of observation can result only in a web of subjective fancies. Not that I was a confessed disciple of some notable thinker. I read what came to hand, but I never attached much importance to labels, preferring above everything else to remain in close touch with sound commonsense. The various authors I read were to me simply contributors of material to be moulded by my own mental spontaneity. This may seem conceited; but let me say that I have never troubled myself as to whether my endeavour to stand on my own legs might strike others as arrogant or not. Nevertheless, I myself came to realise on what tottering legs I was trying to steady myself.
I spent my last holiday in an out-of-the-way place in Moravia. I hired a room in the most decent house in the village Tetchitse, arranged for my meals in the public-house, and looked forward to making acquaintance with the routine and mental horizon of the sturdy Czech population. It so happens that I am thoroughly at home in Russian (as I have frequently occasion to visit Russia), and once one knows one Slav language, the rest is comparatively easy.
