When I step off the plane in New Orleans next week I may feel inspired to say these words from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's play Remorse: A Tragedy:
If aught on earth demand an unmix'd feeling,
'Tis surely this—after long years of exile,
To step forth on firm land, and gazing round us,
To hail at once our country, and our birth-place.
Nah, I'll probably just say, "Oh man, is it ever hot!"
In other words, I'm really excited about going back to my birth-place. Seven years is a long time to be away.
