Landon Book

Famous quotes containing the words landon and/or book:

    Ah tell me not that memory
    Sheds gladness o’er the past;
    What is recalled by faded flowers
    Save that they did not last?
    —Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838)

    Some hard and dry book in a dead language, which you have found it impossible to read at home, but for which you still have a lingering regard, is the best to carry with you on a journey.
