Not that remorse did not oppose temptation;
A little still she strove, and much repented,
And whispering ‘I will ne’er consent’Mconsented.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
