PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS
‘I gradually learned to check the violent expressions of my despair, observing that the giving utterance to them occasioned me to be more closely watched and restrained by the people about me, and nothing was now so grateful to me as being left quite alone, where I might hear only the hollow breaking of the waves against the cliffs, or the cries of the innu- merable sea fowl, which now covered every rock within my sight and often appeared like living clouds floating above me.’
The Works of Charlotte Smith. The Young Philosopher, Volume II

PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS
The apparent deadness of the Campagna, during the season when travellers cross it, the scanty population, whose habits and manners savour an older world, the wall of ruin that surrounds every thing that is new and fresh in Rome, force the thoughts back upon the past, and veil the present, as the future, from our eyes.
Women's Travel Writings in Italy, Volume 5, Maria Graham; Three Months Passed in the Mountains East of Rome (1820)
