Miscellanea
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 - 1:58pm
by Tobias Smollett (1721 - 1771)
When Sappho struck the quiv'ring wire,
The throbbing breast was all on fire:
And when she rais'd the vocal lay,
The captive soul was charm'd away!

A poem by Francis Orray Ticknor
“In one room of this deserted mansion we came upon an old harpsichord
with a single unbroken string. Evoking the last sound from it, we extracted
the key, which you will find herewith.” – Letter from the Old Dominion
