“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants.

“If you would feel the full force of a tempest, take up your residence on the top of Mount Washington, or at the Highland Light, in Truro.”

“The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.”

“How soon I may ride the whole world about;
And at the third question thou must not shrink,
But tell me here truly what I do think.””
