Still really loving this old book! Paul Wood, you would love it too! "Politicians of Western nations ought not to be eligible for election until they have travelled the ancient world. They should be made to see how easy it is for the constant sea of savagery, which flows for ever round the small stand of civilization, to break in and destroy... I cannot understand how any traveller can stand unmoved at the graveside of the civilization from which our own world springs, or can see a Corinthian capitol lying in the mud without feeling that such things hold a lesson and a warning and, perhaps, a prophecy."
