    “If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
    of culture rare,
    You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
    them everywhere.
    You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
    complicated state of mind,
    The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
    transcendental kind.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “How dwarfed against his manliness
    She sees the poor pretension,
    The wants, the aims, the follies, born
    Of fashion and convention!”
