Lost but Found in London


Walter Benjamin's words have been following me through my own exploratory journey of London and its surroundings:"Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance, nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city, as one loses oneself in a forest, that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest." I have been indeed loosing and finding myself in this breathtaking city.
