“But "borderland" can also mean the antithesis of fecundity; it often signifies a lonely outpost and carries with it an end-of-the-world connotation. The thick web of a dynamic civilization wears thin as it disperses into the hinterlands. Not much happens where the waning edge of one civilization meets the waxing edge of another. Borders are nonproductive.” — Susan McBride Els
