Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel-movement through space-provided the universal metaphor for change…. One of the subtle confusions-perhaps one of the secret terrors-of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-2004), U.S. historian. The Image, ch. 3 (1961). |
