The Corsican writer, Pierre Bonardi (1887 - 1964) was one of Albert London's very close friends. After the death of the journalist, he signed these verses in his homage:
"The true travelers are the ones who leave alone
To go light-hearted, balloon-like
From their inevitability they never deviate
And without knowing why they always say, "Come on."

Rare.
