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)

    I have observed, that a Reader seldom peruses a Book with Pleasure, ‘till he knows whether the Writer of it be a black or a fair Man, of a mild or cholerick Disposition, Married or a Batchelor, with other Particulars of the like nature, that conduce very much to the right understanding of an Author.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
