“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)
“Love-light of Spain—hurrah!
Death-light of Africa!
Don John of Austria
Is riding to the sea.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
