"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 like that)
I would put my finger on it and say `When I grow up I will go there.' ...
I have been in some of them, and ...well, we won't talk about that. But
there was one yet - the biggest, the most blank, so to speak - that I had
a hankering after. True, by this time it was not a blank space any more.
It had got filled since my boyhood with rivers and lakes and names. It
had ceased to be a blank space of delightful mystery -- a white patch for
a boy to dream gloriously over. It had become a place of darkness."

Joseph Conrad, "Heart
of Darkness"
