“ROGER DEAKIN, Wildwood (2007) There’s more truth about a camp than a house … because that is the position we are in. The house represents what we ourselves would like to be on Earth: permanent, rooted, here for eternity. But a camp represents the true reality of things: we’re just passing through.”
― Patrick Barkham, The Swimmer: The Wild Life of Roger Deakin
