I always wonder about people who go to Rome as they might go, for example, to Paris or to London.  Certainly Rome as well as these other cities can be enjoyed esthetically; but if you are affected to the depths of your being at every step by the spirit that broods there, if a remnant of a wall here and a column there gaze upon you with a face instantly recognized, then it becomes another matter entirely.  Even in Pompeii unforeseen vistas opened, unexpected things became conscious, and questions were posed which were beyond my powers to handle.

–Jung, Carl. Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Vintage, 1965.  pp. 287-88.
