Tucked away in a lovely square not far from Fleet St is the 18th century home of Dr Johnson. During the years her lived here (1748 - 1759) he compiled the first English dictionary.One of his famous quotes
"when a man is tired of London he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." is a s true today as is was then.
A room for quiet, austere contemplation.

ReplyDeleteLovely serene photo. And the quote is great. There's always something new to explore in London.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! He was so right about London.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully serene room, lovely light. I would think it would spark creativity for more than a dictionary (useful though that is)!
ReplyDeleteBeautufull photo! And thank you for visited.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to London, but I like the quote. And I can imagine Dr Johnson working on this quiet corner while the busy life was taking place outside the window.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my post, Mo.
I like the simplicity of this. I think the quote is quite true. London is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with dr Johnson on Londan but, the place... is as austere as its owner! Perfect shot for a perfect "History Pills" post. Thanks. Enjoy your weekend, Mo!
