This is the definitive biography of Richard Francis Burton by Hugh J. Schonfield. "Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause: He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws. All other Life is living Death, A world where none but Phantoms dwell, A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, a tinkling of the Camel-bell."
