“In that instant I knew that Kyoto had installed itself inside me much deeper than mere fancy. No other place I knew took me back so far and so deep, to what seemed like a better time and self. And as I wandered back in the dying light, lit up with a sense of rapture and calm, I remembered the line of the poet Shinso: “No matter what road I’m traveling, I’m going home.” —Pico Iyer in The Lady and the Monk
