I need to use a qoute for my exampaper and due to my danish native I wonder
if this sentence is correct:
"The day will come when it will seem ludicrous to have furnished generations
of visitors with but a few pithy words on the wall"
and wonders if its a misprint and should have said
"The day will come when it will seem ludicrous to have furnished generations
of visitors with (nothing) but a few pithy words on the wall"
Which i find to be the correct way of saying.
Please help me out?
