“When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.”
― Shakespeare's Sonnets

Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.”

“Colors blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.
The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.”
― Tao Te Ching

“We are happy to observe an increasing frequency of these pedestrian tours: to walk, is, beyond all comparison, the most independent and advantageous mode of travelling; Smelfungus and Mundungus may pursue their journey as they please; but it grieves one to see a man of taste at the mercy of a postilion.'
For the 'man of taste' to be actively recommended the pedestrian alternative indeed shows that a decisive reversal of educated attitudes has taken place, and within a relatively narrow span of years.”

“I hope that the examples I have given have gone some way towards demonstrating that pedestrian touring in the later 1780s and the 1790s was not a matter of a few 'isolated affairs', but was a practice of rapidly growing popularity among the professional, educated classes, with the texts it generated being consumed and reviewed in the same way as other travel literature: compared, criticised for inaccuracies, assessed for topographical or antiquarian interest, and so on.”

“Twelve mothers and twelve fathers were stacked into the long, thin house, each with four children, drawing the old cobalt-and-silver curtains down the center of rooms to make labyrinths of twelve dining rooms, twelve stting rooms, twelve bedrooms. It could be said, and was, that Marya Morevna had twelve mothers and twelve fathers, and so did all the children of that long, thin house.”

“Mutfaktan tabak 莽anak sesleri gelmeye ba艧lam谋艧t谋. Ad谋mlar odalardan odalara ge莽iyor; 谋艧谋k, s谋k谋 s谋k谋 kapanm谋艧 perdelerin aras谋ndan yaramazca s谋z谋p duvarlarda oyunlar oynuyordu.

Neyse ki hi莽biri ger莽ek de臒ildi. Hilmi yata臒谋nda zorlanarak do臒ruldu. Birinin organlar谋 莽眉r眉meye ba艧lad谋臒谋nda hareket kabiliyeti de azal谋yordu. Morarm谋艧 etleri nedeniyle odaya yay谋lan kokudan i臒rendi; buradan hemen 莽谋kmal谋yd谋.

“Kneriday'in bak谋艧lar谋 zaman ge莽irmek i莽in ama莽s谋zca etrafta dolan谋rken birden ortal谋k ayd谋nland谋.
