It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.»

Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!
