“You won't find a new country, won't find another shore.
This city will always pursue you.”
Constantine P. Cavafy (1863–1933) Greek poet
" The City http://cavafis.compupress.gr/kave_33.htm", st. 2 (1910) <br class="br">Context: You won't find a new country, won't find another shore.<br>This city will always pursue you.<br>You'll walk the same streets, grow old<br>in the same neighbourhoods, turn grey in these same houses.<br>You'll always end up in this city. Don't hope for things elsewhere:<br>there's no ship for you, there's no road.<br>Now that you've wasted your life here, in this small corner,<br>you've destroyed it everywhere in the world.
M. K. Hobson (1969) American writer
