“The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”
― The Highwayman

“I have a terrible wanderthirst; the very sight of a map makes me want to put on my hat and take an umbrella and start. I

― Daddy-Long-Legs
