I recently watched Jane Eyre and Persuasion, both set in about the Regency Period, and suddenly the thought occurred to me that someday the present day will seem as remote and odd as that time does to us now. Very strange idea, that so much which we take for granted and the order things, will one day be regarded as antiquated and odd. Common sense, of course, but still strange.
