DEEP GEOGRAPHY

T.S.Eliot

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.

T.S.Eliot, from "Little Gidding"

 

This is the whole point of studying Geography. We explore, we learn about places, we discover new things about the world, we have experiences. And then we apply all of that to our own viewpoint, to where we come from, to what we see out of our own window. And by seeing our own place in the light of all these other things that we have discovered and explored, now we can see it clearly, and know it, for the first time.
