There are ladies of honour that love him well,
But all was in vain, in vain was said,
For he was in love with a charming milkmaid.”

Uncapable of pity, void and empty
From any dram of mercy.”

—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

I much prefer the company of ploughboys and tin-peddlers, to the silken and perfumed amity which celebrates its days of encounter by a frivolous display, by rides in a curricle, and dinners at the best taverns.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
