Cowper in his poem "The Solitude of Alexander Selkirk " namely

"I am monarch of all I survey. My right there's none to dispute"

Wandering is moving from place to place without a fixed plan. It isn't an easy task. It often subjects one to many hardships. Shakespeare rightly says

" Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

over park, over pale,

Thorough flood, thorough fire,

I do wander everywhere.
