“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely.
