    “There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset.

    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Ye lassies all, where’er ye be,
    And ye lie with an east-shore laddie,
    Ye’ll happy be and ye’ll happy be,
    For they are frank and free.”
    —Unknown. The Rantin Laddie (l. 49–52)

    “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.”
