"But as to the spirit of the place, I have several rules: One is to grin like a dog and run about the city. Another thing is from E.M. Forster, who wrote an alleged guidebook to Alexandria. He said the way to look at Alexandria is to wander aimlessly around and to have all your antennae out in all directions so that nothing, absolutely nothing, is uninteresting."
