“We who have lived before railways were made belong to another world. It was only yesterday, but what a gulf between now and then! Then was the old world. Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armor, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth -- all these belong to the old period.

We who lived before railways, and survive out of the ancient world, are like Father Noah and his family out of the Ark.”
“There’s just one place to live – the impossible.”
