The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

"The aspect of the venerable mansion has always affected me like a human countenance, bearing the traces not merely of outward storm and sunshine, but expressive also, of the long lapse of mortal life, and accompanying vicissitudes that have passed within."

(The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chapter 1)
