    In the first part of this paper, the authors show that in the Teichmüller space of a hyperbolic surface of finite type which may have punctures, every earthquake path associated to a measured lamination which is either uniquely ergodic or a weighted simple closed geodesic has a unique limit in the Gardiner-Masur boundary of the space. In the second part of the paper, the authors consider horocyclic paths associated to holomorphic quadratic differentials. They show that if the vertical foliation is uniquely ergodic, then the associated horocyclic path converges to the projective class of this vertical foliation in the Gardiner-Masur boundary as well as in the Thurston boundary. The convergence of a general horocycle path to the Thurston boundary remains an open question. The results of this paper were obtained independently by \textit{V. Alberge} [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Math. 41, No. 1, 439--455 (2016; Zbl 1370.30021)].
