“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Creditor. One of a tribe of savages dwelling beyond the Financial Straits and dreaded for their desolating incursions.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
