WANDERKAMMER

"The knowledge of Rome must be physical, sweated into the system, worked up into the brain through the thinning shoe-leather. Substantiality comes through touch and smell, and taste, the tastes of different dusts. When it comes to knowing, the senses are more honest than the intelligence. Nothing is more real than the first wall you lean up against sobbing with exhaustion. [...] Seeing is pleasure, but not knowledge."

Elizabeth Bowen, A Time in Rome, 1960.
