—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I think this be the most villainous house in all London road for fleas.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“At this season I seldom had a visitor. When the snow lay deepest no wanderer ventured near my house for a week or fortnight at a time, but there I lived as snug as a meadow mouse.”
