R2E Excerpt #55: "And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils..."

And other nauseating stuff William Wordsworth vomited up....WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED BY PETER MOORE

When the mood strikes, I run excerpts here on substack from A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG NINCOMPOOP, my coming-of-age-travel-memoir-with-funny-drawings. (The first entry is here. Most recent one is here. If you become a paid subscriber, you can access the complete archive here!) It details the story of my road through Paris, London, and god help me, Zagreb, in search of the ultimate destination: a life worth living. The story so far: Young Peter arrived in Paris, occupied a dorm room at the Alliance Française language school, tiptoed out onto the Boulevard Raspail and the Paris Metro, and made the first steps on the road to elsewhere.
