Fascinating!

I'll use this quote in class today:

Politics in a literary work, is like a gun shot in the middle of a concert, something vulgar, and however, something which is impossible to ignore. -Stendhal

It's a fine place in our curriculum for it as we're into "The Crucible" now. I'm reserving judgement on Miller. But the quote helped me discover this compelling bit of trivia. Who knew there was a name for the euphoria/fatigue of travel?
