Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across America With the King of the Belgians I must confess that two months ago I had not the slightest intention of writing this book. I thought I had satisfied my need for expression in newspaper articles and lectures. But as the days go by, souvenirs come back and more mature im pressions are born again. The splendor Of that journey still haunts my memory, like that shepherd in the Provencal legend who, after having looked too long at the sun, kept some of its light in his eyes. My ears still have the echo of a great applause. I shall endeavor therefore to bring back some image of all this by noting day by day from the very beginning the impressions and Observations made on His Majesty's trip through the great American Republic.
