"I packed my
rucksack with
socks, canteen,
pencils, three
empty notebooks. I took no
maps, I cannot read
maps - why press a seal on
running water? After all, the only
rule of
travel is, Don't come back the way you went. Come a new way."
Anne Carson, "The Life of Towns,"
Plainwater, NY: Vintage, 2000, page 123.
