Travel 

Winters I should like to go 
Where there is no cold and snow; 
Where, below another sky, 
Lureful links Elysian lie; 
Where, with nothing else to do, 
I should golf the whole day through, 
Pausing only now and then 
For a bite, then back again. 
Southward I would track the sun. 
Travel always broadens one.

- Bert Leston Taylor, in Lyrics of the Links, 1921
