To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere, to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions.
—Charles Baudelaire
A bargain
We are sold so many things today that we become considerably more proficient in recognizing that which is being sold, the seller, and the feeling of being sold to than the typical person of the past. And still, how often we buy, and still, how often we believe we've received a bargain!
