Funny, I posted this on another HN thread [0] recently, but it's perfectly relevant again:

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

How then am I so different from the first men through this way?

Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away

To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men

To find there but the road back home again
