A patrin, according to Romano Lavo-Lil, is "a Gypsy trail:handfuls of leaves or grass cast by the Gypsies on the road, todenote, to those behind, the way which they have taken." Well, thesewild dry whims are patrins dropped now in the open for our tribe;but particularly for you. They will greet you as you lazily come up,and mean: Fare on, and good luck love you to the end! On each have Iput the date of its writing, as one might make memoranda of littleleisurely adventures in prolonged fair weather; and you will read, inbetween and all along, a record of pleasant lonely paths never veryfar from your own, biggest of Romanys! in the thought-country of ourcommon youth.
