I’ve never (no, never) seen a historic house that I haven’t wanted to go right into.

A famous person lived here? Something significant occurred there? Knock, knock, let me in. A great work was born inside those walls, in that room, on this desk? Lemme see, lemme see.

I mean, if you want to get close to history — touch it, feel it, breathe it, absorb it, understand it — where better than in the places where the men and women who made it lived and worked and thought and did? Maybe even left a little psychic energy behind. (Okay, that’s a little fanciful, but you never know. . . .)
