When the thesis was done with and the printing of the second book was
nearing completion, not anxiety to travel, but melancholy and heavy-
heartedness at the thought of my departure, gained the upper hand. It
had been decided that I was to remain away at least a year, and it was
less to myself than to others whom I must necessarily leave behind, that
the time seemed immeasurably long. Professor Schioedte advised me rather
to take several short journeys than one long one; but that was
impracticable. I wanted to get quite away from the home atmosphere. As,
however, there were some who thought of my journey with disquiet and
dread, and from whom it was difficult for me to tear myself, I put off
my departure as long as I could. At last the remnant of work that still
bound me to Copenhagen was finished, and then all the new and enriching
prospects my stay in foreign countries was to bring me shone in a golden
light. Full of undaunted hope, I set out on my travels at the beginning
of April, 1870.
