Marco Polo told Kublai Kan:

Each time the traveler arrives in a new city.

He finds the past he did not know he had.

The feeling of estrangement of what you are no more

of what you no longer possess

of foreign places you will never possess.

Venice is for me both origin and arrival.

Foreign and Familiar.

Unfathomable.

Unobtainable.
