Homelands..

'In a love affair, most seek an eternal homeland. Others, but very few, eternal voyaging. These latter are melancholics, for whom contact with mother earth is to be shunned. They seek the person who will keep far from them the homeland's sadness. To that person, they remain faithful.' (Old Map)

'The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.' (Arc Lamp)

(Walter Benjamin, One Way Street)
