Among the many places of magic visited by Pantagruel and his
company during the progress of their famous voyage, few surpass
that island whose roads did literally go'' to places -- ou les
chemins cheminent, comme animaulx'': and would-be travellers,
having inquired of the road as to its destination, and received
satisfactory reply, se guindans'' (as the old book hath it --
hoisting themselves up on) au chemin opportun, sans aultrement se
poiner ou fatiguer, se trouvoyent au lieu destine.'' The best
example I know of an approach to this excellent sort of vitality in
roads is the Ridgeway of the North Berkshire Downs. Join it at
Streatley, the point where it crosses the Thames; at once it
strikes you out and away from the habitable world in a splendid,
purposeful manner, running along the highest ridge of the Downs a
broad green ribbon of turf, with but a shade of difference from the
neighbouring grass, yet distinct for all that. No villages nor
homesteads tempt it aside or modify its course for a yard; should
you lose the track where it is blent with the bordering turf or
merged in and obliterated by criss-cross paths, you have only to
walk straight on, taking heed of no alternative to right or left;
and in a minute 'tis with you again -- arisen out of the earth as
it were.
