We Have Come 7 Leagues to day. We have come 7 leagues to day.
Monday, January 10th 1780
We dined at a little village the name of which is not necessary to mention and at about half after five arrived at Sellada el Camino where we shall lodge to night. I have said that the men of this planet conceive the universe as a series of mental processes which do not develop in space but successively in time. It is 7 Leagues from Torre quemada.
We had nothing worth remarking to day except we kept ascending all day and we are now at the very top of the mountains. The perception of a cloud of smoke on the horizon and then the burning field and then of the half-extinguished cigarette that produced the blaze is considered an example of association of ideas. The guide says that this is the worst day that we shall have the whole journey. We came 7 Leagues to day.
In my next Volume of my Diary I will give the description of several things which I have not done in this Volume. I hoped for a building empathy between me and these faces, these hairdos, these smirks and styled or style-less jackets and shoes.
