"Writers mostly call it "studying," when they describe their attitude to
a city; yet a whole world separates these words. Anyone can study, but
learning is something you can only do if you are there for the
duration...There is a kind of experience that craves the unique, the
sensational, and another kind that seeks out eternal sameness."
Walter Benjamin, Review of Franz Hessel's Spazieren in Berlin (On Foot in Berlin), 1929
