Idée d’jour

I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of
reading about them, and of the bitter effects of staying at home with all the narrow prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
— Lord Byron, poet (1788-1824)
