"There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it ease like water over a stone, onto its fluid contours, and are home. Some find it in the place of their birth; others may leave a seaside town, parched, and find themselves refreshed in the desert. There are those born in rolling countryside who are really only at ease in the intense and busy loneliness of the city." - Josephine Hart

Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless,
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a joyless eye,
That finds no object worth its constancy?"
