"He sought Jerusalem in the double character of pilgrim and of knight, the Bible, the Gospel, and the Crusades in his hand: I visited it only as a poet and philosopher : and I am returned with the emotions of my heart deeply awakened, and my mind enlightened by sublime and awful lessons... As for a book of travels, that is to say, a complete and faithful description of the countries passed through, of the personal events that have occurred to the traveler, of the general impression he has derived from places, men, and customs, still less has this entered into my design."
