Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

“Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places” (28).

“…submerging the city in its own past, which it had tried in vain to reject” (116).
