Horace Walpole Quotes:
Ocupation: Politician
Life: September 24, 1717 - March 2, 1797
Birthday: September 24
Death: March 2
Two large prominent eyes that rolled about to no purpose (for he was utterly short-sighted) a wide mouth, thick lips and inflated visage, gave him the air of a blind trumpeter. A deep untuneable voice which, instead of modulating, he enforced with unnecsessary pomp, a total neglect of his person, and ignorance of every civil attention, disgusted all who judge by appearance.
