One Response to “Tony Horwitz on the novelty of travel”

  1. Mariella Says:

    “Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
    As far as possible without surrender
    be on good terms with all persons.
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,
    even the dull and the ignorant;
    they too have their story.”

    Extract from the poem Desiderata, 1927
    by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)
