Letitia Elizabeth Landon
sight-seeing gratifies us in different ways. First, there is the pleasure of novelty secondly, either that of admiration or fault-finding - the latter a very animated enjoyment.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
We would liken music to Aladdin's lamp — worthless in itself, not so for the spirits which obey its call. We love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings, it can summon with a touch.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
