Disappointing Fancies
Mungo Park's Journal
Isaiah 29:7-8
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her fortification…


No sooner had I shut my eyes than fancy would convey me to the streams and rivers of my native land. There, as I wandered along the verdant bank, I surveyed the clear stream with transport, and hastened to swallow the delightful draught; but alas! disappointment awakened me, and I found myself a lonely captive, perishing of thirst amid the wilds of Africa.
