There is one gentleman who posts regularly on AR who has as his tag a great quote about readjusting to civilization after coming back from safari. I cannot recall his name and having just returned from a couple of weeks hunting, I would like to have it to share with my fellow travelers.Can anyone help?

Is this what you're looking for? "But at home one is bound with petty regulations and irksome restraints.....People do not understand that a wanderer returned views things from a different standpoint.....He feels lost even in great crowds, for nothing and no one seem in sympathy. The people he knows may be good fellows, but they do not understand him, and he does not understand them.....Environment is at fault, because it has become foreign to him, and he longs to get back to the bush, the hills, and the plains, where he spent some of the happiest days of his life, for there he felt an exaltation that no civilized land can possibly supply." ― Denis D.

Are those quasi-ellipses indicative of missing text? | |||

That may explain why my wife asked me why I was so irritated lately. Having just returned from my 10th trip to Africa, I am frustrated with the petty bullshit and arbitrary impediments to getting something accomplished. I am seriously considering a home in Bulawayo for extended stays over there, before I become a total cynic. BUTCH C'est Tout Bon (It is all good) | |||

This is something I have been contemplating lately - how did it get to the point where one thinks about moving to africa to get away from bureaucracy, corruption and stupid politicians? | |||
