Isabel Savory

  • “Too often travelling is a Fool's Paradise. I am miserable; I want to get out of myself; I want to leave home. ... I go to the very ends of the earth; and behold, my skeleton steps out of its cup-board and confronts me there. ... the last thing I can lose is myself ...”

Isabel Savory, English traveler, sportswoman

(c. 1875)
