Welcome to the Way Backs' Website!

"The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact that once, on this earth, once, on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, as actual as we are today, thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions, but now all gone, one generation vanishing after another, gone as utterly as we ourselves shall shortly be gone...This is the most familiar and certain fact about life, but it is also the most poetical, and the knowledge of it has never ceased to entrance me, and to throw a halo of poetry around the dustiest record." --George Macauley Trevalyan quoted by Ballen
I think if we post the address of this book in it's own space (as opposed to putting it on a links list) we can open a new window when we click on the title, that way we can more easily go back and forth between the blog and the book.
