Travelling

Famous quotes containing the word travelling:

    Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    I have been told lately that Fuseli was travelling by coach and a gentleman opposite him said: “I understand, Mr. Fuseli, that you are a painter; it may interest you to know that I have a daughter who paints on velvet.”
    Fuseli rose instantly and said in a strong foreign accent, “Let me get out.”
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    The full moon travelling through her shepherdless fields.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
