My Old Friends

Thomas Gray, letter to Richard West (May 8, 1742):
You see, by what I sent you, that I converse as usual with none but the dead: they are my old friends, and almost make me long to be with them. You will not wonder, therefore, that I, who live only in times past, am able to tell you no news of the present.
