"I had an overwhelming desire to get away from it all. Away from the horrible atmosphere of political suspicion and hatred, from streets thronged by armed men, from air-raids, trenches, machine-guns, screaming trams, milkless tea, oil cookery, and shortage of cigarettes, from almost everything that I had learnt to associate with Spain". ("Homage to Catalonia", George Orwell, 1938 [2021]: 117)
