As a tourist attraction, Dove Cottage receives approximately 70,000 visitors a year.

Famous quotes containing the word times:
“Eyes—the head’s chief of police. They watch and make mental notes. A blind person is like a city abandoned by the authorities. On sad days they cry. In these carefree times they weep only from tender emotions.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The people of coming days will know

Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
