“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. I haven’t a
single explorer on my planet. It is not the geographer who goes out to
count the towns, the rivers, the mountains, the seas, the oceans, and
the deserts. The geographer is much too important to go loafing about.
He does not leave his desk. But he receives the explorers in his study.
He asks them questions, and he notes down what they recall of their
travels. And if the recollections of any one among them seem interesting
to him, the geographer orders an inquiry into that explorer’s moral character.”
