In the 1860s W.H. Hudson came to the Rio Negro looking for the migrant birds that wintered around his home[...]. Years later he [...] wrote a book so quiet and sane it makes Thoreau seem a ranter. Hudson devotes a whole chapter in Idle Days in Patagonia to answering Mr Darwin's question, and he concludes that desert wanderers discover in themselves a primeval calmness which is perhaps the same as the Peace of God.
