Examples of itinerant in a Sentence

1. Cormac McCarthy:

   The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

2. RAS CARDO REGGAE:

   **(C)(P) LISTEN! ONE COULD SAY THAT THERE IS REALLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH AMERICA. I HAD ASKED SOME AMERICANS WHY THEY HAVE TO LEAVE AMERICA TO GO SOME PLACE ON-VACATION- TO GET SOME REST? I KEEP GETTING SO MANY DIFFERENT, UNFULFILLED ANSWERS-WHICH STILL AMAZES ME, BUT DON'T BLAME IT ON THE ITINERANT UNFULLFILLED RESTLESS SPIRIT OF HUMANS. IT IS MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT. WHAT SAY YOU? AMERICA! STILL TRYING TO FIND ITSELF.
