Jack the Ripper escaped the past in a time machine built by H.G. Wells and ended up trapped in 1979. Wells followed the murderer from the past and a game of cat and mouse began in the future world… at least to them. (Time After Time, Flm)

Never did I feel, my dear Bonstetten, to what a tedious length the few short moments of our life may be extended by impatience and expectation, till you had left me [...] I did not conceive till now (I own) what it was to lose you, nor felt the solitude and insipidity of my own condition, before I possess'd the happiness of your friendship.
Thomas Gray to Charles Victor de Bonstetten, [12 April 1770]
~
Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it might be in my power, by action rather than words, to convince you that I love you. I shall only tell you that ’till you bade us Adieu, I hardly knew the value you had taught my heart to set upon you.
Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, [April 1779]
