Until I got married, when I used to go out, my mother said good bye to me as though I was emigrating.

It is a mistake to expect good work from expatriates for it is not what they do that matters but what they are not doing.

and kiwi expat poet Terence George Craddock
Russell is fame toasted public over exposure

Banana Republics

By: steve goodman, jim rothermel, steve burgh
1977
Down to the banana republics, down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated americans, hopin to find some fun
Some of them go for the sailing, caught by the lure of the sea
Tryin to find what is ailing, livin in the land of the free
Some of them are running from lovers, leaving no foreward address
Some of them are running tons of ganja
Some are running from the i.r.s.
Chorus:
Late at night you will find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime
Singin give me some words I can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes
First you learn the native customs
Soon a word of spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
cause they know they cant trust you

I would emigrate once again, but only with the caravan of dreams, rushed to an oasis of truth ...

I think it no accident that most of those emigrating to America in the 19th century identified with the Democratic Party. We are a heterogeneous party made up of Americans of diverse backgrounds.

Sacred Ibis

the sacred ibis
flocking on the parapet
she used to live there
I still hear my daughter's laugh
emigrated to other climes

A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted.

An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn't take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I'd found a friend for life.

Civilisation has ever accompanied emigration and conquest - the conflict of opinion, of religion, or of race.

As Oscar Wilde should have said, when bad ideas have nowhere else to go, they emigrate to America and become university courses.
