Resumo[Marlow:] Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map (but they all look that) I would put my finger on it and say, When I grow up I will go there. Heart of Darkness (1899) [Conrad:] One day, putting my finger on a spot in the very middle of the then white heart of Africa, I declared that some day I would go there. Geography and Some Explorers (1924)
