The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers from the Spectator QUOTES

1 " Let Rufus weep, rejoice, stand, sit, or walk,
Still he can nothing but of Nævia talk:
Let him eat, drink, ask Questions, or dispute,
Still he must speak of Nævia, or be mute.
He writ to his Father, ending with this Line,
I am, my Lovely Nævia, ever thine. "

― Joseph Addison , The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers from the Spectator

2 " I shall therefore retire into the Town, if I may make use of that Phrase, and get into the Crowd again as fast as I can, in order to be alone. I can there raise what Speculations I please upon others without being observed my self, and at the same time enjoy all the Advantages of Company with all the Privileges of Solitude. "

― Joseph Addison , The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers from the Spectator
