Famous quotes containing the words historical, period and/or adventure:
“It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The post-office had a great charm at one period of our lives. When you have lived to my age, you will begin to think letters are never worth going through the rain for.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“A man I praise that once in Tara’s Halls
Said to the woman on his knees, “Lie still,
My hundredth year is at an end. I think
That something is about to happen, I think
That the adventure of old age begins....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
