...Egypt, Constantinople, Beirut and other suitably exotic places. The trip was not a success; "As a worshipper of the sun, he was handicapped by an aversion to heat and to southern parts." Something of his prosaic Boston background apparently survived in Crosby despite his flamboyant efforts to thumb his nose at his heritage...
