The line between ambition and obsession can be much thinner than one might imagine. You would be well served to look down and see exactly where you are standing.

“Albion is an ancient word for England, Albio in Celtic and Alba in Gaelic; it is mentioned in the Latin of Pliny and in the Greek of Ptolemy. It may mean ‘the white land’, related to the whiteness of the cliffs greeting travellers and suggesting pristine purity or blankness. But the cliffs are also guardians and Albion was the name of the primaeval giant who made his home upon the island of Britain. He is the ‘elemental and emblematic giant’ whom G. K. Chesterton observed in his study of Chaucer, ‘with our native hills for his bones and our native forests for his beard … a single figure outlined against the sea and a great face staring at the sky’. His traces can be seen in the huge white horses which populated the primitive landscape, inscribed in the chalk of the hills.”
