"My mother is my last point of security in relation to my past, and if that breaks, I will not ever have that type of pure love or pure attachment."

Think for a while what the virtues are which arise out of the feelings connected with these words, and if you have any intellectual eyes, you will then perceive the connection between topography and patriotism.
