“The feelings which the majestic loneliness of the Patagonian scenery produced in my mind
were like those called upv by one of Beethoven’s grand soft sonatas.”
‘Across Patagonia’ Lady Florence Dixie, 1880
“The word 'Patagonia' like Mandalay or Timbuktu, has lodged itself in our imagination
as a metaphor for The Ultimate, the point beyond which one could not go.”
