“I would rather, however, have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.”
Lord Byron, letter to Thomas Moore, June 8, 1822
“And, at this day, though I have kind invitations enough to visit America, I could not, even for a couple of months, live in a country so miserable as to possess no castles.”
John Ruskin, Fors Clavigera, Vol. I. Letter 10, 1871
