Chapter 70 departure

I ordered my horse to be brought out of the pen.The servant did not understand me.I went to the stables myself, saddled my horse, and mounted.I heard the sound of a trumpet blowing in the distance, and I asked the servant what this meant.He didn't know, he heard nothing.At the gate he stopped me and asked, "Where are you going, sir?" "I don't know," I said, "Just get out of here, just get out of here. Keep getting out of here, only then will I reach my destination." "So you know your destination?" he asked. "Yes," I replied, "I said: 'Get out of here,' and this is my destination."

"You didn't bring dry food," he said. "I don't need it," said I. "It's a long journey, and if I get nothing on the way, I'm sure I'll die of starvation. Bread won't save my life. It's a truly extraordinary journey."
