"Sing
in me, Muse, and through me tell the story / of that man
skilled in all ways of contending, / the wanderer, harried
for years on end, / after he plundered the stronghold
/ on the proud height of Troy"
Homer, The Odissey
"What am I doing here?"
Arthur Rimbaud, Letters from Ethiopia
"The border means more than a customs house, a passport
officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going
to be different; life is never going to be quite the same
again after your passport has been stamped and you find
yourself speechless among the money-changers"
Graham Greene, The Border |
