Travel is like love, involving all its possible phases--its approaches, its games, its crystallisations, or its claps of thunder, even to the point of temporal disorientation or spatial displacement, from a change of place to the embrace of a new and totally different destination, as if in the bodily form of a woman met by chance, through whose union a masterpiece is accomplished.

JEAN CASSOU

attributed, The Tourist as a Metaphor of the Social World

LEWIS WALKER

"Travel dreams 2017", Dunwoody Crier, May 16, 2017

Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by
When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.
