We neglect the things which are placed before our eyes, and regardless of what is within our reach, we pursue whatever is remote. This is frequently and properly applied to the rage for visiting foreign countries, in those who are absolutely unacquainted with their own.
Abroad to see wonders the traveler goes,
And neglects the fine things which lie under his nose.
