“The received myth of the Pilgrims confuses these folk with the Massachusetts Bay Puritans who came to America about ten years later and settled about fifty miles to the north of Plymouth Plantation. So we tend to picture our band of Pilgrims dressed all in black, with high pointy hats. In reality, they were not at all enemies of ‘gay apparel’, and, except on Sundays when black dress was compulsory, mostly wore garments of russet or dark green, though the women sometimes wore quite handsome dresses of saffron or dark”

“கொடுக்க, கொடுக்க அதிகரிக்கும்
உன் அறிவு, வடிகெட்டாமல் கொடு!
உலகத்திலிருந்து நீ விடுபட்டாலும்,
இருக்கவேண்டும், நீ விட்ட வடு!”

“Questa sera Tardegardo, come suo costume, si trattenne lunga pezza al verone a contemplare il notturno stellato. Io non ardii di raggiungerlo, ma vidi egualmente, da certo luccicore, ch’avea il guardo pieno di lagrime, e, al solito, ne provai viva pena. Mi parve anche che tremasse, e osservandolo meglio (pur discosto com’ero), che movesse le labbra alla volta della luna, splendidissima e tersa qual da tempo non si mostrava.”
