It is a wild and weird scene, one of those noble English parks at midnight, with its rough forest-ground broken into dell and valley, its never-Innovated and mossy grass, overrun with fern, and its immemorial trees, that have looked upon the birth, and look yet upon the graves, of a hundred generations.
"Ernest Maltravers, Complete"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Of these it may be said, that as they have done no good they have done little harm; both because they have Innovated little, and because few have followed them.
"A Grammar of the English Tongue"
Samuel Johnson
