Additional quotes by Charles Lamb

Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.

Thou in such a cloud dost bind us,
That our worst foes cannot find us,
And ill fortune, that would thwart us,
Shoots at rovers, shooting at us;
While each man, through thy height'ning steam,
Does like a smoking Etna seem.

Not many sounds in life, and I include all urban and rural sounds, exceed in interest a knock at the door.
