Interesting Fact:
"I left London with the feeling of the captive of Chillon, who regretted his prison when he stepped out of it. The exile is nowhere at home, and his stay is bitter everywhere. After the deceptions I experienced in my life, I no longer cherished any delusion, and like the personage of Gogol, I was about to move from one gaol to another," said Ivan Golovin in Stars and stripes, or American Impressions. |
