By This Time, Like One Who Had Set Out On His Way By Nigh

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

By this time, like one who had set out on his way by night, and travelled
through a region of smooth or idle dreams, our history now arrives
on the confines, where daylight and truth meet us with a clear dawn,
representing to our view, though at a far distance, true colours and
shapes.
-- John Milton (1608-1674)
-- The History of England, Book i
