“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper.

Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
