Living abroad

By Giorgia Madonno Marco Polo Consulting

Changed

From the outskirts of the town,
Where of old the mile-stone stood,
Now a stranger, looking down,
I behold the shadowy crown
Of the dark and haunted wood.
It is changed, or am I changed?
Ah! The oaks are fresh and green,
But the friends with whom I ranged
Through their thickets are estranged
By the years that intervene.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What a beautiful poem describing the feeling of someone visiting back his hometown while living abroad.

Because  we are all in transition and changing all the time:

Who are you?” said the Caterpillar. . . . 

“I— I hardly know, Sir, just at present ,” 

Alice replied rather shyly, 

“at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, 

but I think I must have changed several times since then.”—
