Soon we will leave it. Yyaldrin, Chava, Firefinga, Entertainment from Copenhagen, all will become strangers to us. In truth we were never European in any case. It always felt foreign, exotic, seductive, sleepy, gentle, preserved in aspic.
It's everything we can't have. A dusty paradise we have been locked out of. A magical land where they do things such as 'make love', where they attend lectures and discussion groups, where they riot and strike and protest, where they scrawl left wing graffiti on the wall, where they drink without drunkeness and treat good food as a simple, natural birthright. Even football is given a patina of sophistication there.
